Two Little Gull and 37 Grey Plover in the field west of the Mill and 2 Red-throated Diver on the sea from the car park the only highlights this morning.
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).
