GORING GAP : Despite the lack of reporting on the national birdnews services, the
Snow Bunting was still being enjoyed by visitors in its prolonged stay, a brief visit by myself (27th) produced 4
Mediterranean Gulls and 5
Greater-black-backed Gulls on the fields with
Common Gull numbers increasing in the roost field again. A few
Sanderling were on the beach whilst
Ringed Plover and
Dunlin took shelter from the weekend crowds in the roost fields, 8
Skylark were counted too
NB
SALVINGTON : Taking part in the RSPB big garden birdwatch, the regular male
Blackcap was joined by a female today, can only presume it is the same bird that was seen just before xmas, I am currently spiking apples and pears onto my feeding station tree and the Blackcap loves the bounty and is now seen more regulary although becoming territorial
NB
Blackcap - male and female - overwintering in the Salvington area of Worthing - NB
