EAST PRESTON: Distant Red Kite going west and a Peregrine Falcon north over Roundstone Drive (GK)
MARINE GARDENS: There are still plenty of Swallows arriving today, with 30 coming in off the sea at Marine Gardens this morning between 0905 and 1005. A small grey/brown warbler flew into the shelter but skipped out before I got a decent view! Sea passage remains quiet with the hour producing Sandwich Tern (5), Whimbrel (3), Bar-tailed Godwit (8), Oystercatcher (2), Gannet (9), Mediterranean Gull (3), Black-headed Gull (3) and a single Heron and Bonxie all flying east and seven Common Scoter and a single Gannet flying westward.
Grey Herons are not a common species to log on a local seawatch; in 15,217 hours logged since 1978 just 156 have been recorded with zeros in several years and a maximum of 13 noted during 2011. (JN)
WEST WORTHING: A Pomarine Skua past Ham Road at 17.10 (MG)
