A very quiet day around the Selsey peninsular this morning; with a strong westerly wind and cooling air temperature birding proved to be rather slow. At Selsey Bill very little moving offshore, just a few Gannets and 20 Kittiwakes drifting west. A lone Shag flew east and 4 Red-breasted Mergansers west. Two divers (a Red-throated flying west and a diver sp flying east) were the highlights. At Church Norton 35 Brent Geese, the wintering Whimbrel and 2 Swallows flying south. Along the A286 north of Singleton 2 Red Kites near the road. Ambersham Common was very quiet; at Lavington Common a Brambling was heard calling but otherwise very quiet. (Bernie Forbes & Dave Smith).
