Splash Point & Pulborough Brooks 31/3/11

Started off at Splash Point (09.50-10.20, SW 4-5) where there was very little movement. Birds noted were Brent Geese 46; Mediterranean Gulls 2; Sandwich Tern 2 and Diver sp.


Went to Pulborough Brooks after and notched up 2 more yearticks in the form of House Martin and Willow Warbler. The water level was slightly higher than expected and no passage waders were seen. Totals for the walk were House Martin 3; Willow Warbler 2; Chiffchaff 10+; Brambling 2 (Nettley's); Black-tailed Godwit 1 s/p; and 2 male Blackcaps. Now a quarter of the way through the year and my Sussex Yearlist is 172 and UK Yearlist is 179.
