Pagham Lagoon

At Pagham Lagoon this afternoon, three male Goldeneye and a female, fifty Tufted Ducks and Gulls various but nothing of great interest. In the Harbour, lots of birds: Wigeon, Great Black Backed Gulls, Little Grebes, Knot, Dunlin, stacks of Teal (there must be a Green-winged Teal out there somewhere, last one at Pagham in 1995 astonishingly), Great-crested Grebes, Linnets, Greenfinches, all the usual commoner waders and best of all a Dartford Warbler along the Spit opposite Little Lagoon which didn't hang around for snaps unfortunately and nor can I blame it in the easterly wind; perhaps one of the Church Norton birds seen across the water a few days ago?
