Goring Gap was quiet this morning, save for three fly-over
Siskins. There was barely anything offshore: a
Kittiwake, three
Gannets and four
Red-breasted Mergansers. 14
Mediterranean Gulls included a yellow-ringed adult but I was unable to get the full code. The male
Reed Bunting was still singing and now looks as though it's intent on holding territory, and a
Meadow Pipit was still present. Waders on the beach included 17
Turnstones, nine
Sanderlings and 20
Dunlin.
Brooklands Park had three
Firecrests affording excellent views near the stream, where a
Cetti's Warbler called briefly. 10
Teal and two
Little Grebes were on the lake and a
Chiffchaff was in song. A
Siskin flew over.

Ingrid and I popped in to Cuckmere Haven later on, where we got nice views of the
Glossy Ibis on the north side of the road before it was spooked by two sparring
Peregrines.
