Yesterday there were about 130 Lapwing down by Rye Farm, all flew in together, just when I was thinking that 6 swans and a couple of Mallard were all that was about.  On the way back I wondered if a woodpecker drumming to the east (towards Brookside) may have been a lesser spot – it sounded the same as the one on my “app”!

Today a Sparrowhawk over South View Terrace, then 2 Red Kites quite low over Weavers Lane about 11.45.

A group walk at Ferring on Tuesday 6th finished at the beach where we had great views of a Sanderling – not something we get on our local patch!
