03 Jun 2020	Red birds top of page end of page
	I spent this morning at Wick Bottom near Woodingdean, with the aim of getting some more breeding records onto BirdTrack, and was very pleased to get proofs for seven red-listed birds. There was a pair of Yellowhammers, young Linnets, House Sparrows and Starlings being fed, and Skylarks, Corn Buntings and a Song Thrush singing. A few hours well spent! posted by Chris Barfield on 03 Jun 2020 18:56
03 Jun 2020	Around Arundel top of page end of page
	An unseasonal Common Sandpiper was by the river to the north of Arundel this morning, while the rapid spread of Cetti's Warblers appears to be continuing, with one heard for the first time today at a site some distance from the main course of the river. The previous evening there were at least three Cuckoos in the area, and two Cattle Egrets put in an appearance at a roost site as they have done intermittently for a week or so now. On the evening before that a walk to woods west of the town produced at least four churring Nightjars and a distant Woodcock, while that afternoon had produced a Redstart singing strongly in the same general area. posted by Martin Daniel (mcdbirder@gmail.com) on 03 Jun 2020 18:14

03 Jun 2020	White Stork in Partridge Green top of page end of page
	Coming back from the village this morning spotted a White Stork about 7.30am on a rooftop close to home. Stayed around long enough for me to get home and return with a camera. Most likely one of the birds from Knepp. posted by Rod Geal on 03 Jun 2020 15:36
03 Jun 2020	Bath-time top of page end of page
	A Woodpigeon was making the most of the brief but welcome monsoon this morning by taking its ablutions on our shed roof. Its mate's expression is somewhat disapproving. posted by Simon Linington on 03 Jun 2020 15:07
03 Jun 2020	Cissbury top of page end of page
	Very quiet here this morning but there was a very odd record with a Reed Warbler in full song on the northern scarp. Very strange having the song coming out a bone dry escarpment. A late arrival or one which hasn’t read the books of where it should be? posted by Richard Ives on 03 Jun 2020 13:06
03 Jun 2020	Spoonbill top of page end of page
	This was spotted first at 7.25am just north of the A259 in the Seven Sisters Country Park between the visitor centre and the Cuckmere Inn and was clearly visible from the roadside path. It was still in the same place at 11.15am. posted by Martin Kenward on 03 Jun 2020 12:43
02 Jun 2020	Reed Warbler top of page end of page
	A Reed Warbler in my Brighton garden for a couple of hours yesterday morning (02/06), singing almost constantly. (I won't be entering the photo into the SOS competition). posted by Chris Brown on 03 Jun 2020 11:31
