September Fieldfare at Pulborough Brooks this evening. My earliest record by a few weeks! @SussexBirding

Just found a Little Bunting on Warren Cliffs in the same spot as Lapland Bunting. @spurnbirdobs

A very South Downs picture: Six-spot Burnet on Round-headed Rampion/Pride of Sussex | Chantry Hill

Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon aka Goat's-beard (Tragopogon pratensis ssp. minor), my composite for #wildflowerhour, a bit past Jack's bedtime.

A well and truly keeled skimmer today at Thursley Common.

Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris) today in West Sussex for #wildflowerhour

Fun morning at Amberley with the flood water retreating beneath the ice. 65 species around. Firecrest, 2 Chiffchaff and a small flock of Siskin in Rackham Wood; 70 Coot, 25 Tufted Duck, 2 Black-tailed Godwit and 30+ Snipe on the floodplain. Plus the usual cast of ducks...

Some nice additions to the Amberley year list for #PWC2023 today with 2 Bewick's, Goosander (thanks @mostlyscarce) and Marsh Tit added today. The Bewick's flew SW and were later seen at Burpham. @PatchBirding @SussexOrnitholo

Going to attempt @PatchBirding this year at Amberley Wildbrooks. It'll be fairly casual though as I'm doing an MSc. Tricky patch for full coverage, and 120 spp. in 2021 I reckon 150 points might be a bit ambitious, but we go Sunday rain or shine.

Sometimes your luck is just in. A chance trip to Blackdown this afternoon and stumble upon a Great Grey Shrike! Quite mobile but was around here when I left: Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/QohT9SjkPh92…

Distant views are better than no views! Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Medmerry.

Nice views of Short-eared Owl from Winpenny hide, Pulborough Brooks this evening. @RSPBPulborough @SussexBirding

One of the juvenile Black Terns at Shoreham yesterday feeding around the paddlers and swimmers.

Chanctonbury Ring this morning: 28 Spot Fly(!), 2 Pied Fly, 2 Redstart, Wheatear, 3 Tree Pipit, 30 House Martins.

Fantastic trip to Chanctonbury Ring after the rain this morning. 1 Pied Flycatcher (pictured), at least 10 Spot Fly (inc 2 young being fed), 4 Redstart, 21 Wheatears to go, Garden Warbler, loads of Willow Warblers and a Hobby. Also Hummingbird Hawkmoth to top it off.

The fabulously name Veronica beccabunga (Brooklime). River Wey, Surrey. #wildflowerhour #AquaticPlants

Missed the rings on this Sandwich Tern when I busy comparing it to this unringed Roseate Tern at Hill Head last week! 5th calendar year bird from Wexford that likes to spend the winter in Namibia. @HOSbirding

Lovely morning at Knepp. 44 bird species seen inc 31 singing Chiffchaffs, 11 Blackcaps and a Swallow.

Some good birds along the Sussex coast this weekend.
