Short-eared Owl at Greatham
Sunday 26 February. Seawatched from 07.05-08.05 from the end of the West Arm of Shoreham Harbour but little was moving with highlights(?) being Gannet 8E, Tufted Duck 2W, Common Scoter 2E, Black-headed Gull 175E, Razorbill 27 on sea & 1E, auk sp. 23 on sea & 60E and Stock Dove 2W. At least 7 Purple Sandpipers were feeding at low tide on the rocks halfway down the East Arm (visible, just, from the end of the East Arm) and both Peregrines were on Southwick Power Station chimney. Lots of gulls all along the beach to Widewatr but nothing stood out amongst yhem and no colour rings were seen. No sign of the Snow Buntings in a brief look at Widewater but the two juvenile Mute Swans haven't been chased off by their parents yet and the Pintail was still present.

You certainly had a good day today Richard. Things are a bit flat at Dunge at the moment.
