Red-breasted Goose
The RBG first reported by Graeme Spinks was still present at dusk along with Whitefronts at the back of the marsh behind the pools. This is the first for Pett Level and I’m pretty sure for this end of Sussex.
There are 3-4 groups of Whitefronts, totalling about 300 birds and a huge mass of Wigeon, maybe 5000? And one drake Pintail. Barnacle Geese still alongside the footpath but I didn’t try to count them, nor the hundreds of GC Grebes on the sea.
3 Bitterns yesterday and one this morning at Carter’s flood
