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).

In dull drizzly grey morning I took myself over to Marsh Farm, all seemed very quiet with no wildfowl on the pools whatsoever, but with 300 Black-headed Gull in the flooded field, along with 3 Grey Heron. 1 Cetti's Warbler calling from the reeds, also 2 Water Rail in the area and 2 Snipe flushed from the fields. A flock of 28 Redwing took flight from the line of tree's as a Peregrine swooped into view. Around the Farm 2 Bullfinch, 4 Chiffchaff, 5 Goldcrest 1 Redpoll and 1 Buzzard.
