17th April 2019 - Ferring Rife

I had a walk along Ferring Rife around midday. I started at the northern end by the country club and upon arrival a Swallow passed through north. Scattered around the bushes was 4 Willow Warblers, 2 Chiffchaffs, 3 Greenfinches, a Green Woodpecker and a Jay. Whilst in the arable fields to the west was a singing Skylark and a Pied Wagtail. On my way back up the rife a further 2 Swallows passed through north and was accompanied by a Sand Martin. I was also pleased to see around c30 House Sparrows a few of which were carrying nesting material.
