A day of variety but still not many migrants in the bushes in the fresh, cold NE winds. The highlight came late in the day with an adult Long-tailed Skua passing close inshore at 1740hrs after being seen earlier in the day off Selsey Bill. Over 11hrs of seawatching produced a few notable birds but numbers were generally low with a Pintail, 11 Shoveler, a Velvet Scoter, 459 Common Scoters, 87 Grey Plover, 15 Whimbrel, four Redshank, a Greenshank, 20 Knot, 83 Sanderlings, three Mediterranean Gulls,12 Little Terns, three Black Terns, seven each of Arctic and Pomarine Skuas, five Black-throated Divers and two Manx Shearwaters. On the land, a White Stork and a Bee-eater were of note.
Six Porpoise and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
