Pagham spit / Pagham lagoon

27/02/10
At 9am saturday morning while the car was in for it's MOT I walked down to the spit for an hour's birding. A few large flocks of knot were moving out onto the shingle bank,having been forced out by the very high tide.About 200 grey plover (half way into summer plumage) were also finally pushed out of the harbour by the rising tide.
On the lagoon were 4 goldneye,(3 females and a stunning male),also 3 red breasted mergansers and a few med gulls back in summer plumage.
