SHOREHAM: During a short walk this morning there was two Grey Wagtails on the roof of the Sussex Yacht Club's building. Also a presumed Rock Pipit here under the bridge. Along the path to the Fort flocks of Goldfinches, House Sparrows, a few Linnets and Greenfinches were making use of the seeds of dried plants. At the Fort a Black Redstart landed on the wall for a few seconds but couldn't locate it again. But while looking for it a Marsh Harrier drifted past from West to East following the coastline. No luck with the Purple Sandpiper but a dozen or so Turnstones were present at the wooden structure (SOS).
