A Pallass warbler was found at sheepcote this morning, it was in sycamores at the southernmost end of 'the crescent' but was only present for a matter of seconds. It flew in from across the road with 2 goldcrests but seemed to disappear and we could not relocate it. A Lapland bunting was also heard.

So that's it then, back to work today, shame as theres obviously stuff out there waiting to be found. Me and me bro had the 3rd-13th off work and once again thinking big was the way to go, unfortunately this is sussex and a couple of padder finds was the best we could do. My best find was a rose coloured starling (my 4th county find), whilst Ian bagged a barred warbler and yellow browed. Birding was quite hard work, with not a lot generally going on from day to day, over head still no siskins or redpoll but loads of reed buntings. Other bits and bobs included tawny pipit 7th (not found, present previous day), 2 firecrest in Harry's bush (11th), 5 ring ouzels and 93 Brent geese sheepcote (11th), woodlark sheepcote (12th) and little gull at the res (13th). However, also a contender for best find was a wood warbler which spent 3 days in ovingdean up to the 13th. The latest county record i think. On the final day, a juv male goshawk complete with jesses was in Harry's bush. Roll on next year!

what the fuck sos! there is no fucking way that somebody elses initials should appear on the raddes at sheepcote. I found it and id'd it, so why does someone who merely took a picture of it get his initials. as I haven't yet submitted the record personally this makes it all the more annoying. the sos is shit, always has been, always will be, and its this kind of action that really pisses me off.

sat: walked from the marina to the pier finding the following dead birds: 21 razorbills, 9 guillemots, 7 kittiwakes, 5 starlings and a fulmar. I actually walked all the way to shoreham harbour but the totals fell dramatically with just 5 razorbills and a gannet between the pier and the harbour. I walked ovingdean, rottingdean and saltdean beaches in the evening finding more auks and kittiwakes.
