A Merlin in the top fields west of the camp site was the highlight of the morning, also a Firecrest with Goldcrest at Kents (CN). 5 Stonechat a couple of Blackcap & Chiffchaff around the bushes in blustery conditions, as well Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer present, 5 Yellow Wagtail and a trickle of both Swallow & House Martin continue moving west.
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).
