Liz and I started our next trip walking from Rustington through Littlehampton. I spotted seagulls, but not a lot else birdwise.
We walked onward, across the footbridge and along West Beach towards Bognor, which was our destination. Not much else but seagulls, yet again.
Not swallows, but martens or swifts in a mixed flock greeted us as we walked the coastline in the Climping district.
That was the end of that excursion. The following week brought us to July 2024, and we took a trip to Knepp Park rewilding reserve. There were bound to be more birds here.
Well, these bird remains were on a table underneath a large nesting box - indicating a large bird was nesting in the box and dropping out its debris - possibly an owl and its undigestable food scraps.
Maybe it was an owl, or possibly a bird of prey....
It would be unlikely not to see a stork when visiting Knepp Park. We saw one standing on top a nest, throwing out debris. It appears it is spring cleaning season for birds at KP. So once again - perhaps a second batch of young might be planned for.
The first thing I do is open all the pictures in new tabs and I didn't notice the bird skeleton until I had it full screened. Yikes! That's a sad sight.
