this white winger was at hove lagoon this evening. luckily it was only 5 mins away from work and i was able to see it and return without anyone noticing.

bumping into pops along the undercliff was a blessing in disguise as 2 black necked grebes were found off ovingdean as we stood chatting. not that far out, they continued slowly w and were off the marina an hour later. certainly a good winter record here.

a cycle out to southwick late morning produced a long tailed duck just offshore and a stupid redshank in the lock gates.
