A morning walk from the car park at Climping to the mouth of the River Arun and back produced ca.100 Dunlin, 44 Ringed Plover, 38 Turnstone, three Sanderling, four Oystercatcher and 23 Grey Plover. Offshore was very quiet with just a single Gannet, a Red-throated Diver and six Mediterranean Gulls noted. Passerines included a Stonechat, eight Meadow Pipits, five Pied Wagtails, seven Greenfinches, two Linnets and a flyover Grey Wagtail.
Late afternoon in the roost field at Goring Gap were up to c1500 gulls. They comprised mainly of Common and Black-headed Gulls. Much to my surprise, I could only find two Mediterranean Gulls amongst them.
