Pagham harbour

A break in the weather mid morning today, gave me a chance to get in a few hours bird watching down at the harbour.Large numbers of waders and wildfowl out in the harbour and also on the flooded north fields,which included:
1000+ brent geese
1000+ wigeon
1200+ lapwing
500+golden plover and 300 black-tailed godwit.
Over on Pagham lagoon there was one male, and eight female goldeneye,at least 40 tufted duck and a female red head smew.Out on the shingle spit were oystercatchers,turnstones and knot.
