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).
Bird Title
White's Thrush - Mongolia 13th May 2023
24 July, 2020
Had three ringed Med Gulls by the Arun just south of Arundel over the last two days which give some clue to where some of the 250+ you had at Climping a couple of days back came from. All three were ringed at the Total site in Antwerp, Belgium. Today’s bird (white 33HA) was a >3CY ringed on 12 May 2020 and still at Antwerp on 13 June. The two seen yesterday were white ring 3852, ringed as a pullus in June 2018 and since seen in May 2019 in the Vendee, France; and white ring 3001 ringed as a >3CY in May 2018 and since seen in Brittany in December 2018 and Zwin in Flanders in June 2019.
