Still on the Littlehampton-Bognor hike - which took us 2.5-3 hours each way - we spotted a field of.... assumedly oyster catchers.
A city pigeon decided to try its luck at our picnic lunch spot in Bognor but alas, Liz had ryvita and cheese and I had seaweed crisps... so nothing we could feed the potential friend. Our next trip was to Shoreham.
There were 2-3 cormorants perched on the posts in the lagoon near the car park - one seemed to be a juvenile due to being extra white. We then took coffee at the French Cafe and strolled the Christmas market - before going up the Estuary birding. We spotted this...
an oyster catcher.
Next, we spotted an egret - and a man illegally grabbing bait, as there were signs up saying you couldn't do this!
I tried to get a picture of another one the other side of the estuary, but it didn't come out clear.
My next picture was unclear also - but is of a godwit. My final shot for today's post is of a wooden bird!
That's weird how the boats are left grounded at low tide. You'd think that would damage them.
ReplyDeletei guess they have to be repaired every so often....they must be able to handle it as its not a once-off but twice daily event...
