Week round up

It was mainly a week of family stuff and work with a two day trip to Hampshire (to Paulton's Park), a work day with Matt around the lodge on Thursday and in London working on Friday. Therefore natural history highlights have been restricted to the garden and moth traps and on Thursday I took Jacob to a Young Explorers session with the Pagham Harbour RSPB team.

  • There's been some steady birding elsewhere on the Peninsula this week with Redstart, Whinchat and Spotted Flycatchers and an Osprey and Glossy Ibis in the harbour.

Details worth keeping

Will post more details seperately on that as a few local scarcities. As always, all the local birding news on the excellent local blog HERE.
