Ferring Rife and Goring

A thorough session at the Rife this morning produced my first Whitethroat of the year and a female Wheatear, as well as two Willow Warblers, a Little Egret, four Chiffchaffs, five Swallows, a Blackcap, two Meadow Pipits, four Linnets, two Pied Wagtails, a Lesser Black-backed Gull, four Mallards, three Grey Herons, a Buzzard, a Goldcrest and five Moorhens.

Goring later in the rain revealed little other than three Meadow Pipits on a quick whizz around.
