The Climping Gap remains one of the last undeveloped sites along the coast in West Sussex. This site is dedicated to Birds seen in and around the Climping Gap area by myself and a few die hard friends, that live in the area and have been birding the local patch for decades.

Another new bird for the patch
Hit the beach at 0720 decided to do some seawatching after the rain had stopped, really slow going then at 0805 picked up on a small falcon coming in off. quickly dismmissed Hobby because of the sandy colouration on the bird and the rounded wings. Then thought of Red-Footed Falcon. Watched as bird hit the coast, and Bird lost to view as it flew over my head and went to grab bins. Also 17W 9E Gannet, 5E Commic Tern, 10W Whimbrel, 2W Fulmar, 3 Great Skua, 3 Great C Grebe, 20 Sanderling and 5 Dunlin.
