31st July 2019 - West Rise Marsh

I called into West Rise Marsh and completed a circular loop of West Langney Lake. The highlight were two Common Sandpipers, a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull and a Yellow Wagtail. Also noted were c50 Sand Martins and six Swifts hawking over the lake whilst on the water were several Coots, two Cormorants, 14 Canada Geese, two Great Crested Grebes, 2 Lesser-black backed Gulls, five Mallards, a Moorhen, 17 Mute Swans, seven Pochards and six Tufted Ducks. The surrounding reedbeds held a singing Cetti's Warbler.
