A great day out with the missus in yet more cold weather and light drizzle. We started off at Pagham North Wall where after an hour we had brief views of the Paddyfield Warbler. Although brief, this was a huge relief.
The rest of the day was spent clearing up the goodies in both counties, whilst having a nice lunch at the White Swan to keep someone happy!!!
