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. (Please email your sighting's to lobas@btinternet.com or Tweet to @BirdsofClimping).

A 3-hour jaunt at Climping this morning (around Atherington/Mill area) produced a selection of the commoner migrants; 30+Blackcaps, 20 Chiffchaffs, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 24 Whitethroats, 2 Garden Warblers, 2 Spotted Flycatchers and 7 Wheatears. However the sea remained totally dead, with just a handful of distant Commic Terns offshore and virtually nothing else.

2 Whinchat, 2 Spotted Flycatcher, 20 Wheatear, 1 Garden Warbler, still good numbers of Whitethroat, Willow Warbler, Blackcap and a few Chiffchaff, very quiet offshore with a few Gannets, Commic and Sandwich Tern moving.
