Feeling I was overdue a visit to Ferring Rife, that's where I went this morning. It was a rather nice day to be out for once, and highlights included a pair of adult
Peregrines, a female
Sparrowhawk, a
Kestrel, a
Grey Wagtail, a
Little Grebe (scarce here), a
Green Woodpecker, a
Grey Heron and 16
Moorhens. The most bizarre sight of the morning was two
Cormorants quite happily chilling in the middle of a stubble field despite plenty of more 'normal' positions easily available. I've definitely never seen Cormorants in this situation before. A noisy gang of 17
Magpies was another highlight.

Back at home in West Worthing, garden observations included a
Firecrest moving through the gardens at a pace, and two
Redwings.
