On my way through Ferring my first
Sparrowhawk of the year flew over the car. Two
Snipe, a
Water Rail, a
Grey Heron, a
Redwing, a
Reed Bunting, a 2cy male
Kestrel, a
Grey Wagtail, 12
Skylarks, a singing
Coal Tit, three
Goldcrests and 17
Moorhens were logged during a morning walk at Ferring Rife.

The '
Northern Treecreeper' was still along the public footpath by the east side of The World's End pub, where George and I found a '
Siberian Chiffchaff' where the path opens out to the fields. Also a
Firecrest still on the south side of the road, plus two
Bullfinches, a
Yellowhammer and a
Meadow Pipit. A
Great Crested Grebe was on the pond - my first water bird there beside a brief Mallard the other day!
