Black Redstart exhibiting that red start yesterday at Splash Point, Seaford. Our recent good form ran out with a dip on the Pied Wheatear but at least we had two of these beauties to keep us entertained. #UKbirding #Sussexbirds

Pete has confirmed it's a regular visitor here in spring, as well as visiting Snow Hill Marsh, West Wittering, where it was ringed as a chick in 2024. Not been reported anywhere else yet! #HantsBirds #SussexBirds

Titchfield Haven: 19 Avocets on South Scrape this afternoon including one of Pete Potts' birds which I think is a frequent visitor here as it looked familiar! #HantsBirds
Avocet in shallow water with colour rings on its legs. It is a medium sized wading bird that is white with some black markings including a black face. It has an upturned bill and pale bluish legs. One leg has a black ring over a blue ring and the other leg has a green ring over a pale ring which I think is lime. On its lower leg is a metal ring which will have a code and British museum address because this bird was ringed in the UK

Evening walk. Kingfisher :)

They're not much bigger than sparrows and it was the other side of the river so these are cropped.

With the local flooded fields now drying, the habitat was perfect for some of our earlier migratory birds. Great to have a Little Ringed Plover on the patch in Angmering.
