2 Hoopoe this afternoon at the North Wall Pagham.
Incredible to have one perched singing in a tree. Tricky surroundings all the time for photos, but pretty special to hear.

8k walk from home around Angmering. First Whitethroat of the year and so good to find something a bit different - Green Sandpiper in the last of the water. 7 Wheatears, a few Swallows and a Willow Warbler were the best from 46 sps. #UkBirding #lowcarbonbirding

Saw a Short-eared Owl in flight which seemed to drop miles away, but clearly didn't as walked into it a few minutes later. First Wheatear too in the same area, Angmering.
