Saturday 7th August - Summer blows

 It has been fairly awful weather this Summer so far, a lot of rain and a fair amount of wind. Storm Every was due to blow through at the weekend so I thought I would give seawatching a go at Selsey as the winds were due to be Southerly.

It had been quiet all week and as it turned out it continued to be this morning for the 3 hours at Selsey Bill with some of the other regulars. The highlights list was fairly thin with just 4 Kittiwakes, a Fulmar, several Sandwich and Common Terns and the usual number of Gannets.

A brief stop a the Ferry Pool on the way back was marginally more productive with 120 Black-tailed Godwit, 90 Lapwing, 2 Avocet, 5 Common Sandpipers, 24 Dunlin and both Cattle Egret and Little Egret as well as 85+ Swifts all moving South.
