Only 16 species seen today at my local patch despite the lovely weather, including Rook, Song Thrush, Little Egret, Buzzard and Dunnock. Plenty of butterfly species though which was nice, including Brimstone and Orange Tip. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @sussexornitholo.bsky.social #sussexbirds

With the local flooded fields now drying, the habitat was perfect for some of our earlier migratory birds. Great to have a Little Ringed Plover on the patch in Angmering.

Mid-March is that frustrating “no-man’s-land” time between winter and spring, but there were nevertheless a few interesting sightings.

Pete has confirmed it's a regular visitor here in spring, as well as visiting Snow Hill Marsh, West Wittering, where it was ringed as a chick in 2024. Not been reported anywhere else yet! #HantsBirds #SussexBirds

One of the several very friendly Robins that was following me around Warnham Nature Reserve, this one in particular even trying to land on my camera at one point. @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #sussexbirds #wildlife #nature #birds

A weekend jaunt down to Sussex By The Sea for a family (and gull) visit turned up the expected Caspian Gulls on my old patch of Cuckmere Haven. At least three different first-winters & a second-winter amongst the other seven species present. #sussexbirds

An outstanding report for the coming month by Paul James.
The Bewick Swans DID return to the Arun valley but just three so far.
Plenty to see at the moment and lots more birds to come.
