North wall/Pagham harbour

A quick walk along the north wall this evening at sunset, still some yellow wagtails roosting in the reeds at breach pool before they migrate back to africa.
The field behind the breach pool is still partly flooded after the heavy rain a week ago, so curlew
godwits and snipe were feeding there,while three roe deer were grazing the dryer parts.
At dusk a short-eared owl flew into the harbour and was immediately mobbed by two crows before landing in a dip out of sight.

Buff-breasted sandpiper

Despite the return of more heavy rain today,I decided to go and see the buff-breasted sandpiper at Arlington reservoir this afternoon. The bird showed very well and wasn't bothered by all the "twitchers"watching it.
