A Little Gull commuting between Littlehampton beach and the first field west of the golf course with several Black-headed Gull until midday at least. 3 large flocks of duck moving distantly west offshore c.200, a small flock consisting of 12 birds held both Wigeon and Pintail. Also 1 Diver sp east, 1w Shelduck, 10 Meadow Pipit, a Stonechat in the paddock, and singles of both Kestrel and Buzzard.

Far too busy in the patch this morning, dog walkers I mean. With a good SSE blow and bright conditions I was hopeful of some movement offshore, alas everything too far out, even the Brent moving distantly.
