How can you help the SOS?

In the days of so many media platforms one way is to post your birding news on the website under "recent sightings". The website is an important source of news for a lot of people.

Also coming soon is a weekly round up of Sussex Bird News.

167 sp in September which was only one less than April’s all time record, therefore three of the four highest ever totals have been this year (May 165).
Six new sp this month taking us to 213 which is a record at this time of the year (4 more than last year high)

An Osprey was a nice consolation for missing the Little Stint at Pagham North Walls late morning. And finally got a chance to connect with some of the Curlew Sandpiper influx (4). My first Brent Geese (3) of the autumn as well. A nice variety with 65 species seen.

A large bird of prey is flying left. It is mainly white with some dark feathers in the underwings and tail.
