16th April 2019 - Marine Gardens, Worthing

I shot down to Marine Gardens to look for the Red-necked Grebe, which upon arrival was being watched by the finder Nick Oliver. The bird was distant but when I got onto it, it showed well. My 3rd in Sussex this year! I presume this is probably the same bird which has been lingering off this area of the coast for a while and was seen off Rustington by Garry the other day. The sea was dead other than the grebe and the only notables I had were 7 Common Scoter east as well as 2 Gannets.
