ADUR ESTUARY: A circular bike ride from the Toll Bridge, taking in the wader roost south of the main road. A flock of about 20 Skylarks on the airport boundary. A Cetti's Warbler singing opposite New Salts Farm. On the lagoon near the Dogs Trust a Redshank, up to its belly in water and pecking at the surface, was briefly reminiscent of a phalarope. I had to leave the roost site just before high water so some birds may have remained in the saltmarsh, but those seen included 12 Oystercatchers, three Dunlins, about 40 Redshanks, one Greenshank, one Curlew and about 20 Snipe. Other sightings here included four Teal, a Little Egret, two Grey Herons, a Mediterranean Gull and a flock of 30 Linnets. Steve Gilbert via SOS
