2nd January: Keeping it local
Feeling a bit weary today after 2 long days 'in the field', I left Tim to his bird group accounts and went for a circular walk around the Shoreham part of the river Adur. Conditions were still pretty dreary and it was a vey low tide making the birds quite distant. However, I managed to add a Great Black Headed Gull to the annual list together with a number of Oystercatchers, Turnstones and Redshank. I was also pleased to find the single over-wintering Greenshank feeding in the channel by the houseboats, its distinctive white underbelly showing clearly despite the murk.
