Thankfully the East Sussex RN Phalarope made it closer to home (if its the same bird)as I couldn't make it yesterday! Thanks to Ads B for quick news and find 👊🏼

A good walk of 8k after work around local patch gave incredible views of a Hobby that just sat there completely unphased by me passing underneath it. Mandarin duck made for a nice shot in good light on Decoy pond, Angmering. #UkBirding #lowcarbonbirding

3 Cuckoos at @rspb.bsky.social Pulborough this morning made for good viewing from the café, and stole the show.
Green-winged Teal was a good Sussex tick although a bit underwhelming as its slept !!

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.

A couple of distant shots of the Least Sandpiper found by P Bowley at the Stilt Pool, Medmerry, Chichester. Hard going but was finally rewarded after a lot of searching. #UkBirding #sussexbirds
