An early morning visit to Selsey was particularly quiet for this time of year, a light South Westerly was blowing giving a slight change in the weather but did nothing really for bird activity, The only sea movement was 9 Wigeon, whereas migration was highlighted by 2 Hobby, 14 Grey Wagtails and a handful of Swallow, House Martin and Sand Martin.
This was followed up with a visit to Church Norton where again it was fairly quiet, a male Redstart behind the hide was a highlight with a few Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Whitethroat and 1 Lesser Whitethroat near the Severals.
The harbour was at high tide with 3 Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Whimbrel, 63 Grey Plover, 4 Knot reflecting the low wader numbers. 9 Pintail were in the channel and a Peregrine and distant Marsh Harrier were seen. Better times will come !!!
