I went in search of White-fronted Geese this afternoon in the Arun Valley. I started my search at Amberley Wildbrooks where there had been a complete clear out of birds. The only birds present was 150 Lapwing. Presumably the clear out is linked to wild fowling?
Next stop was Burpham, again another blank only four Mute Swans to report from here. Feeling frustrated I finished the afternoon at the Black Rabbit Pub where things improved. I noted: potentially up to 11 (?) Marsh Harriers although it was hard to distinguish whether they were different birds or not in poor light, a Kingfisher, a Red Kite, a Buzzard, two Grey Herons, two Egyptian Geese and a Little Egret.
