ADUR ESTUARY (tollbridge to Bramber): Peregrine, Kingfisher, four Buzzards, 15 Cormorants (SOS).
CISSBURY RING: GREAT GREY SHRIKE still around flint mines near yew at southwest end at 3.35pm. Also Stonechat, Kestrel and Green Woodpecker (SOS).
FERRING RIFE: Feeling I was overdue a visit to Ferring Rife, that's where I went this
morning. It was a rather nice day to be out for once, and highlights
included a pair of adult Peregrines, a female Sparrowhawk, a Kestrel, a Grey Wagtail, a Little Grebe (scarce here), a Green Woodpecker, a Grey Heron and 16 Moorhens. The most bizarre sight of the morning was two Cormorants
quite happily chilling in the middle of a stubble field despite plenty
of more 'normal' positions easily available. I've definitely never seen
Cormorants in this situation before. A noisy gang of 17 Magpies was another highlight (DKC).
WEST WORTHING: Garden observations included a Firecrest moving through the gardens at a pace, and two Redwings (DKC)
