Birds at Ferry Pool, Sidlesham and Church Norton
Leaders: Phil Darley & Douglas Maughan (HNHS members)
Seen from the hide overlooking Ferry Pool were Shovelers, Little Egret, Little Grebe, Black-headed Gulls and Mallards.
Nearly a dozen butterflies were encountered: Red Admiral, Speckled Wood and Small White.
At Church Norton a family of Goldcrest was accompanied by Long-tailed Tits and beyond the incoming tide seen were Wigeon, Great Crested Grebe, Oystercatchers and Cormorants.
The highlight was two Curlews making several, circular flypasts, close by.
