Sorry for not posting lately but i was having some major
problems with my computer but that's all sorted now, anyway ill start
of with mine and dads trip to Pulborough were we had very showy
Nightingales, Whitethroats, Blackcaps, Willow warblers, Sedge warblers, a
nice showy Cuckoo, and a very nice Water rail.
On the 22nd
of April we quickly popped into Fishbourne for the Possible Iberian Chiffchaff,
which showed doing a call that I’ve never heard before, at Sildesham ferry we
had two Little ringed plover mating, and full summer plumage
Spotted Redshank,

On the 30th
dad had female Pied flycatcher at his work, at the golf course we had
a nice male Whinchat that showed really well sitting on brambles and
flying round on the grass as well, then just behind us dad then picked out a
nice male Redstart that performed beautifully in a willow tree, then just
abit further down the field dad then picked out a nice male Ring Ouzel that
was within a few feet from us showing really well, it was a
shame because i forget my camera that day.
Then on the 5th
of may we met Rob at Rye train station and then headed to Rye for the Kentish
plover that showed really well, the bird was on the new salt marsh which was
only constructed last year and has been a major improvement to Sussex
and Rye itself, we also had Curlew sandpiper, 1 Little Stint, amazing view of
Little Tern, about 200 Ringed Plover, we then headed to Dungeness were we
had a nice male Whinchat, 2 Redstart, 2 Black restarts and 4
Whimbrel.

Then on the 11th
of May we headed to a local green about 2 minutes away from our house were we
had stunning views of Spotted Flycatcher, Whitethroats and
Blackcaps.
And last but not
least, Rob came and picked us up last Saturday and we headed to
Somerset for the Squacco Heron, Which performed really well right in
front of us before it flew of into so tree's were it showed well as well,
we then headed back to Pagham harbour were we had amazing views of Nightjar
that was right out in the open, i thought that you could only dream for a view
like this you could see all the marking through the scope from here we headed
home.
