Early morning I had a walk around Ferring Rife. The horse paddocks held 7 Black-headed and 3 Herring Gulls, 8 Moorhens and a single Kestrel. Other notable birds of this visit included 8 Greenfinch, 2 Stock Dove, 2 Common Snipe and singles of Great Spotted Woodpecker and Reed Bunting.
Mid-afternoon, I had a walk from the Sea Lane Cafe to the Bluebird Cafe in hope of finding a Wheatear however this failed. However, along the beach I counted 53 Sanderlings and 59 Turnstone but bizarrely there was no Dunlin or Grey Plover. At Goring Gap there was a 1st-winter Mediterranean Gull, 2 Stock Doves and 4 Pied Wagtails. GJ
