First, a look round Oving with my son where we found a Whitethroat and a showy Garden Warbler.
In the afternoon I cycled down to Medmerry, the four Avocets were still on the first pool by Easton Lane:


Corn Bunting on the way down:



and the Black-Winged Silts:



Then over to Sack Lane at Lidsey where the farmer was spraying the crops in the water meadow! Funny to moan about birders disturbing the crops & Lapwings when the Glossy Ibises were there and then to be doing this I thought...Despite the disturbance, a Yellow Wagtail, a Redshank and some Ringed Plovers were about. Also there what I presume is the Summer plumage Little Stint reported on Birdguides, very red indeed..is it something more (or less?)? Sanderling or Red Necked Stint!!!!
