Took a quick visit to Marsh Farm Thursday morning, still plenty of Reed Warbler, singing along with several Blackcap, 2 Tufted Duck and a Little Grebe on the pools, 3 Buzzard in the area and 25 Sand Martin moving through west.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the Appeal for the 134 pitch caravan park in the Climping Gap will be held Tuesday, June 4^th at 10am sharp in the Millennium Chamber in Manor House on Church Street Littlehampton.  A good show of locals would help the case against the appeal.  It would be best not to speak at the hearing unless you have already requested to do so or are asked a question by the Inspector.  A strong but calm group of supporters is what is needed.  There will also be a site visit at some time during the proceedings which, hopefully, the public can attend but that will be at the discretion of the land owners.  Hope to see you there.
