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).

Spent two hours off Climping Beach this morning with little reward the highlight being 2 adult Med Gull close inshore moving west. 7E 3W Gannet, 1E Common Scoter, 3W Sandwich Tern, 2E Little Egret, 25E Sand Martin and 10W Oystercatcher, was all i could manage it what appeared good conditions.
