Back at Pagham Harbour


Took a walk along the North wall at Pagham harbour this evening, for the first time in nearly three weeks. Spring is well under way now, and the first swallows and house martins were hawking insects over the Breach pool, and both reed and sedge warblers had joined the cetti's and were all singing in the reedbeds.

A few black-tailed godwits remain on the breach pool,and look stunning in their summer plumage. A pair of little ring plovers have also returned to the breach pool and hopefully will breed again this year.

The first few little egrets are back in Owl copse again ,displaying and making their strange courtship calls, hopefully another good breeding season for them as well!
