WORTHING PIER: A seawatch from the pier, before I got turfed off due to the wind reaching Force 8, was slow-going but did produce a juvenile SHAG and an adult LITTLE GULL heading west, along with a Great Crested Grebe, seven Kittiwakes, 11 Common Scoters, 78 Gannets, a Grey Plover, two Dunlin. Too distant and brief for firm ID were 12 auks and three Common/Arctic Terns. A Red-throated Diver was on the sea. Two Turnstones were on the pier and six Common Gulls and a juvenile Lesser Black-backed Gull were noted (DKC).
