Further to the Curlew at Shoreham, not only is it multi-tagged on its legs but also has what I guess is a geolocator on its back (poor thing - my personal opinion, not that of our Society), however, when I saw it on Saturday last I didn’t notice a limp and it was feeding OK as that crab in its beak testifies.

My brother reported a Nightingale 'belting it out' at Gatwick's North Terminal long stay car park this morning at 05:00hrs. 

Splash Point, Seaford: Fulmar, Kittiwake, Swallow and Wheatear.

For past 3 weeks and possibly more, a Nightingale has been singing at rear of Hop Oast Tip in Horsham.

As mentioned by Alan Kitson (April 20), there's a tagged Curlew on the Shoreham Adur currently, generally on the east side mudflats south of the Toll Bridge. It has a noticeable limp.
It's still present today, 22nd, for its 6th day.
Its from the GWCT Curlew head-starting scheme who've provided this info about the bird:

"N0, as you guessed, was released back nr. Arundel in 2022 – part of the same group as P0 (Richard's note: P0 was seen on the Adur in Aug 2022). N0 wintered in Cornwall in 2022/23, then wintered in Pembrokeshire in 2023/24. At some point during its time in Wales, it picked up this limp. I’m concerned that this is because, over the many months that the bird has been tagged, the tag has slipped slightly off-centre. We changed the tag harness design in 2023, so for the 2023 and future releases this will not been able to happen. But we’re keen to have reports of sightings for the 2022 birds to check if/where this has occurred. It’s my hope the bird will be able to shed the tag itself, but if not, we will have to make an attempt to recatch and remove it.
Do please let me know if you have any further sightings of the bird. I will try to get across and have a look for it myself next week."

Did a circuit of the levels this morning, highlights were a Whimbrel, 2 Shelduck, 3 Egyptian Geese, Cattle Egret and Great White Egret in the fields which have now nearly dried up. Had a lovely view of a Cuckoo flying over calling and of a Kingfisher along the river. Nine Lesser Whitethroats, 8 Common Whitethroats, 6 Cetti’s and a single Reed Warbler on the circuit. Plenty of Reed Buntings and Linnets but just a single Yellowhammer noted. Only raptors were a male Sparrowhawk, several Buzzards and a high flyover Red Kite.
Finally it’s always nice to see/hear so many Greenfinches here as they are so scarce up in my part of Sussex.

Blackcap, Whitethroat, Chiffchaffs and various Great Tits and Goldfinches plus a Speckled Wood in and around the wood.

Mid to late morning, Common Whitethroats, Nightingales and Cuckoos singing, Redshanks singing too, Avocets at the hides. On the North Brooks were three Garganey - a pair quite close to Nettley’s Hide (top pic and the female alone bottom left) and a lone drake far out, a pair of Pintail as well (middle pic) and a pair of Lesser Black-backed Gulls. A few Little Egrets and a Great White Egret (from Winpenny).

Whilst doing the farmland bird survey this am, rewarded with a ringtail Hen Harrier quartering north over farmland towards Plumpton Plain. My second ever sighting here.

One Lapwing just south Bushy Willows carpark on the Ashdown Forest - quite skittish - kept landing and then taking off to circle around - probably not helped by the fact I was with my dog.
