A few of the many images I took of the confiding Red-necked Phalarope I came across on my early afternoon visit to the Jurys Gap Sandpit, East Sussex today. Also Wood Sandpiper, Ruffs, Common Sandpipers and a juvenile Black Tern.



1 of 2 Whinchats along the fence line of Flat Pit, East Sussex, also 2 Curlew Sandpipers and 5 Ruff.
Definitely just a record image of a Storm Petrel passing the sea watch hide yesterday  morning
Balearic Shearwater passing the fishing boats yesterday
The Images below were taken yesterday, the Terns were still present today plus a nice suite of waders. At the ARC nothing much has changed, Garganeys still present and good suite of waders present
34 Knot, 2 Curlew Sandpipers, a Dunlin and a Juvenile Black Tern at Firth yesterday

  1. Nice find Martin! Looks a stunning bird. Heading down for a few days, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, so I am hoping to get a few new things!

  2. 98 species today! Best thing was an Osprey which flew over ARC and then back around to the peninsula

    1. Must have been around 2:40 pm. Also 5 black terns off of ARC. Also apparently a Wryneck was reported today with the red backed shrike. Do you know where abouts that was as I will go tomorrow instead of Thursday
