11th November 2012 Pagham & Amberley Calm and sunny

Hooded Merganser 1 first-winter ex.
Spotted Redshank 1
Swallow 1

It's back!
Having spent all day Saturday failing to see the Hooded Merganser it was quite a relief for it to be the first bird seen on reaching the sluice in the gloomy misty dawn on Sunday!
