to 7th September - brief Summer catch up

It really was a proper Summer, right up to the start of this month with temperatures still reaching 30c. Work overtook my ability to fully enjoy the weather, and only a couple of morning birding sessions have been managed, so a summary of these is all I'm going here but from now on to try and keep up to date.

A walk around Pagham Harbour on the bank holiday weekend Sunday had highlights of 2 Whinchats, a Redstart, 2 Lesser Whitethroat several Wheatears , 2 Common Sandpipers and  1 Greenshank.

Then 2 trips to Selsey had highlights of 9 Balearic Shearwaters (in one flock) and then on 7th, one Black Tern, 1 Little Stint and 2 Arctic Skuas.
