GORING: Five Black Redstarts reported in gardens (SOS).

SHOREHAM: This morning, on the high tide, the solitary Purple Sandpiper was at roost on the wooden jetty at Shoreham Fort along with some 24 Turnstone (SOS). Two Swallows at The Cygnets (BirdTrack).

WORTHING: I was walking along Christchurch Road in central Worthing when I heard a Herring Gull screaming and looked up to see it harassing a SHORT-EARED OWL which was trying to continue on its northward journey. A few seconds later, two Swallows passed overhead and, a minute later, a Sparrowhawk was soaring around. A very interesting few minutes in a very urban environment (SOS).
