Pagham harbour

Started at 8.30 this morning along the north wall, it was bright and sunny but with a cool north east wind. Two peregrine falcons were causing panic amongst the gulls and waders out in the harbour,and a kingfisher showed well at white's creek. Lapwing numbers are starting to increase now, and more teal and wigeon are now moving into the harbour, a sure sign that autumn is on it's way.
Worked at the visitors' centre from 10-1.30pm then walked up the west side to Church norton.
There were two ruffs and an avocet among the waders on the ferry pool,a whimbrel and 5 egrets close to the west side path, and a redstart and 2 spotted flycatchers at Church norton.
