Normandy Lagoon

Sunday 16 March 

A beautiful clear, sunny day with not a cloud in the sky.  But it was cold and very windy!  Arriving at Maiden lane, Pennington the HOS group had already moved off so , taking and anti-clockwise circuit round Salterns and Oxey Marshes I caught up with the group before continuing on to check out Normandy Lagoon before heading back to Warsash.

Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus

Odds and ends rather than groups or flocks of birds so Canada Goose, Coot and Little Egrets picked up on Acre Pond and in Maiden Dock Mallard, Oystercatcher and Curlew.  Approaching Oxey Marsh I recorded the first Black-tailed Godwit along with Lapwing and more Teal.

Little Egret Egretta garzetta

Once on the sea wall overlooking Oxey lagoon I soon noted far more Teal, Wigeon and Lapwing and out on the water  three distant Eiders and a Great Black-backed Gull.  Looking into the Solent a pair of Red-breasted mergansers headed eastwards over the water and then back to the lagoon where we found more Shelduck and a score of Black-tailed Godwits.

Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa

Turning inland a pair of Gadwall on the pond on my left and making my way back towards the Salterns Marsh a single Redshank.  Then it was straight on to Normandy Lagoon where I found very many Shelduck and teal along with Wigeon, Shoveler, Tufted Duck and a lone Mute Swan.  Plenty of Black-headed Gulls on sight plus a couple of Cormorant. Another Redshank and a singe Turnstone before coming across the small Avocet flock as I watched the arrival of a dozen Brent Geese.  Two Little Grebe were fishing out of the main lagoon.

Brent Geese Branta bernicla

Leaving by the first exit I walked back to the car along the lane but managed to find both a Magpie and Woodpigeon before reaching the road.  Once on the road both a Blue Tit and Robin were seen in the trees alongside.  Finally, passing through Lymington, I came across both Jackdaws and Rooks.

Birds seen:

New Forest Birding

Mandarin Duck Aix galericulata

Friday 14 March

Bright but cold as I headed off to Blashford Lakes arriving at 9.30 to check out Ibsley Water from the Tern Hide.  Lots of ducks on the water but mainly from the centre to back but a good number of Black-headed Gulls nearer to the hide.  The almost flooded island to the front held a few nearby Wigeon and Tufted Ducks with a good number of Shoveler and Teal off to the right.  Checking the water from centre to back I noted many Wigeon and Shoveler but also more Tufted Ducks and a good number of Pintail.  Just the four Mute Swans noted but Coot.  A Great Crested Grebe drifted across the back and then I found the fist of four Goldeneye, all bar one being handsome males.  Finally, a small group of Gadwall.

Goldeneye Bucephala clangula

Before moving across to the main reserve I also noted a single Canada Goose on the bank to my right, a lone Oystercatcher on the island a pair of Mallards in the bay to the left of the hide.  A couple of Egyptian Geese flew across the water from right to left and, way in the distance, the handful of resting Cormorants.

All seemed very quiet in reserve with the Visitors Centre and its toilet facilities still locked and no feeders at any of the feeding stations.  Therefore, very little close activity but Robin, Blackbird and Great Tit were noted.  A couple of Woodpigeons made their way over the trees and there was no shortage of singing Chiffchaffs, Robins and Great Tits.  Basically nothing to see at the Woodland Hide and the Ivy South Hide produced mainly Tufted Duck, Wigeon and Herring Gulls along with more Cormorants and a Magpie.  Again, nothing new at the Ivy North Hide other than a single Moorhen, albeit I did pass a Song Thrush as I walked through the trees.  Moving on a couple of Carrion Crows approaching Ibsley hamlet along with a couple of Jackdaw to add to the Rooks noticed as I was approaching the lakes.

Coal Tit Parus ater

A fifteen minute stop at Cadnam Pond proved very rewarding with both the long-staying Muscovy Duck and a male Mandarin Duck.  Also on the water around the island a handful of Mallard and eight Canada Geese.  The nearby trees held plenty of Chaffinches and a few Robin and checking the trees at the other side if the car park no shortage of many Blue Tits accompanied by Great, Coal and Marsh Tits taking advantage of the offered food.

Muscovy Duck Cairina moschata

Time to also check very close nearby Janesmoor Pond where I found Blackbird, Robin and a Pied Wagtail.  

Blue Tit Parus caeruleus

Then it was a quick stop just along the road at Eyeworth Pond where ten species were found including a Nuthatch.  Again, more Canada Geese and Mallard on the water and around the feeders a Moorhen along with many Chaffinches, a Robin, Blackbird and Blue (mainly), Great and Marsh Tits.

Marsh Tit Parus palustris

Birds seen:

Canada Goose, Mute Swan, Egyptian Goose, Mandarin Duck, Muscovy Duck, Wigeon, Gadwall, Mallard, Shoveler, Teal, Pintail, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Great Crested Grebe, Cormorant, Moorhen, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Woodpigeon, Pied Wagtail, Robin, Blackbird, Chiffchaff, Marsh Tit, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Nuthatch, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Chaffinch.

Workmans Lane, Warsash

 Thursday 13 March

Just after 10.30 and parked up at the top of Workmans Lane for the walk down to the coast of Southampton Water and back plus a side trip along the bottom of the horse field on the outward journey.  Robins as soon as I got out of the car and then the first of many Carrion Crows before making my way down to the entrance to the horse field.  However, the temporary pond on the field to my right held a dozen Curlew, some grazing and others settled at the edge of the water.

Curlew Numenuius arquata

No sooner had I entered the field than I saw the first of the seven Magpies seen during the walk along with the first Blackbird.  Nothing else until approaching the donkey paddock when a pair of Egyptian Geese took of from the side of the track and flew to the top of the field.  Continuing on I came across a trio of Pied Wagtails and a similar number of Starling feeding and washing in with the paddock containing the horses at the very top of the track.  At the back of the paddock adjacent to the large pond a group of ten Canada Geese.

Back to Workmans Lane and taking the path down to Chilling Head a pair of Long-tailed plus another couple of Great Tits.  Once at the end and able to check the water, with the tide now fully in, and just the single Eider mid-water.

Eider Somateria mollissima

Continuing on southwards along the coastal path I then took the narrow path back up to Workmans Lane and the car.  A couple of Greenfinches and in the field where I had seen the Curlew there were now five grazing Roe Deer.  Some warming sunshine but, basically, still very cold.

Roe Deer Capreolus capreolus

Birds seen:

Canada Goose, Egyptian Goose, Eider Duck, Curlew, Woodpigeon, Pied Wagtail, Robin, Blackbird, Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Starling, Greenfinch.

Curlew Numenuius arquata

 Wednesday 12 March

I had to smile as I read Dave's report of today's visit by the Arboleas Birding Group up to the Sierra de Maria.  Thus far I have seen 95 species this month back in Blighty and today with Jenny I was at our monthly dance in Southampton Guildhall.  Given that I have still to see a Collared Dove this month (but loads of Woodpigeons and Rock Doves/Feral Pigeon, I drove through the city thinking, bound to be one somewhere - but there was not.  And yet that was the first bird to appear in the report!  Mind you, we did stop to record the four Black Swans on the River Itchen in Bitterne.

But as your latest adventure some cracking birds seen and many "not available over here" - or at lest scarce these days.  After regular sightings of Tree-creeper I'm beginning to forget what a Short-toed Tree-creeper looks and sounds like!  "Obliging Corn Bunting!"  Time was to find a specimen over here was no problem but not so these days; still to see one in the three plus years we have now been back from Spain.  the same goes for the Crossbill and even Red-legged Partridges are becoming scarce and lucky to have a sighting during the year (not seen to date in 2025.)  Similarly, forget both Crested and Thekla Larks but lots of singing Skylarks about at the moment.  And then you mention Lesser Kestrel and Griffon Vulture.  I think I need to look up air fares and timings for a return to Spain!

Sierra de Maria  -  Wednesday 12th March

After the prolonged period of rain it was good to be out again in the sunnier weather.  There were numerous clouds and later up at Maria there was a chilly, lazy wind!  (It doesn't go around you but straight through you!)  Thinking the loop track might be a tad muddy I volunteered to drive Nigel up there.  From Velez Blanco to the La Piza forest cafe we only saw one Collared Dove.  Not an auspicious start to say the least!  As I reloaded the bird feeders with peanuts, Nigel got some coffees.  My activity soon got the attention of a Great Tit and a Chaffinch.  As we drank our coffee, Nigel spotted a Jay, Magpie and Crested Tit.  We were joined by Phil 2, Trevor, Seamus, Linda and the well behaved Lottie.  Phil and Trevor had seen some Griffon Vultures and a House Sparrow en route.  A Short-toed Tree-creeper gave some good views.  Nigel added a Robin.  We heard a Blackbird.  4 Crossbills came down for some water.  A Coal Tit was seen and Linda spotted a Long-tailed Tit.

We commenced to do the loop.  I led with Nigel, followed by Seamus and Linda with Phil and Trevor bringing up the rear.  We didn't see anything as we drove through the forest zone.  We faired better in the agricultural area with Thekla Lark, Carrion Crow, White Wagtail and a very obliging Corn Bunting. Three Calandra Larks took to the wing as we passed.  Also seen were flocks of Rock Sparrow, Goldfinch and Linnet.  Phil and Trevor added a Greenfinch.  As we arrived at the stopping point by the village, Nigel spotted a Stonechat.  He also found a distant Griffon Vulture.

We moved along the track.  Once we got off the tarmac we came across patches of mud.  No doubt there were moans from the smart car drivers!  There were plenty of large puddles in the fields.  As we passed one a Green Sandpiper flew off.  We saw more Magpies, Carrion Crows, Linnets and Thekla Larks.  When we got to the cliff face Nigel and I heard a Red-legged Partridge.  The others, however, had seen one.  There were a couple of small plumes of soaring Griffons.  We walked to the far side and Trevor was first to spot a Black Wheatear.

We carried on and only added a Red-billed Chough as we drove through the cave village.  At the hamlet it was good to see a male Lesser Kestrel.  Our first in over a year!  The clouds were now amassing and the wind was biting.  As we headed to the relative shelter of the La Piza forest we added a pair of Raven on the plain.  Nothing extra was added from the warmth of the bar area.

We ended up with 33 species, the Green Sandpiper being the most unusual.  I can only ever remember seeing a Stone Curlew up there in the past so "waders" are a rare event!  A lovely day in good company!

Regards

Dave

Titchfield Haven shore followed by Titchfield canal

Tuesday 11 March

The weather has returned to very cold for my 7.30 arrival at the Meon shore, Hill Head this morning. A Robin as I arrived on the shore road and once parked at the far end a check of the beach alongside the harbour oat storage yard produced 55 Sanderling along with 9 Ringed Plover and upwards of 40 Turnstones. In the harbour itself a pair of Mute Swans and a good number of Mallard.

Sanderling Calidris alba

Crossing the road to visit the observation platform overlooking Titchfield Haven a number of Black-headed Gulls resting on the main lagoon below plus a pair of Tufted Duck and four Gadwall. Just the one Cormorant and a trio of Coot. Further over within the reserve itself I could see a handful of Shelduck along with a number of Wigeon, Shoveler, Teal and Canada Geese plus a trio of Avocets. A flock of two score or more Oystercatchers flew up the lagoon and into the reserve.  below me in the edges a Cetti's Warbler. A lone Starling was atop the Visitors Centre and a I made my way back to the car an a pair of Carrion Crows flew over and, reaching the end of the shore road to turn inland a Magpie in the tree to my left. 

Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula

Fifteen minutes later I had arrived at the Titchfield car park to walk down the Titchfield Canal to the end of the avenue and back followed by a short walk up the canal to the church and back ending up with a total of 36 species in 70 minutes. Stating in the copse behind the pumping station I quickly came across a number of Chiffchaff, Blackbird, Blue and Great Tits plus both a Song Thrush and Magpie.

Song Thrush Turdus philomelos

Back to the main path alongside the canal and the first of many Woodpigeons seen. Once near the overhead wires a stop to check the birdlife on Bridge Street Flood.  A pair of Mute Swans plus very many Black-headed and a few Herring Gulls then noticed the handful of Lapwing and a solitary Black-tailed Godwit. Most of the Wigeon were feeding on the grass and in the nearby water Coot, Mallard, Shoveler, Pintail, Gadwall and Teal.  Just a couple of Canada Geese seen along with a couple of Cormorant and at the far end of the water I finally found one of the resident Glossy Ibis and a pair of Moorhens.

Glossy Ibis Plegadis falcinellus

As I moved on down towards Posbrook Flood a Buzzard resting in a nearby tree to my left and the first of a quartet of Cetti's Warblers and a Wren.  On the grass to my immediate left not only more resting Canada Geese but an eventual total of nine Greylag Geese.

Buzzard Buteo buteo

Nothing new to add on Posbrook Flood but at the bridge a Robin and at the far end of the avenue another Blue Tit and the a handful of Jackdaws plus a pair of Carrion Crows. Making my way back I had a brief sighting of the drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker and then came across a Little Egret in the canal.  Passing Bridge Street Flood I noticed a pair of Shelduck had joined the mixed duck flock.

Great Spotted Woodpecker
Dendrocopos major

The walk up the canal on the other side of Bridge Street produced more Teal and Mallard plus a pair of Magpie and, at last, a Heron.  making my way back to the car park to return home a I noticed the Starling on top of the house nearest the car park.

Bird seen:

Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Brent Goose, Mute Swan, Shelduck, Wigeon, Gadwall, Mallard, Shoveler, Teal, Pintail, Tufted Duck, Cormorant, Glossy Ibis, Little Egret, Heron, Buzzard, Moorhen, Coot, Oystercatcher, Avocet, Ringed Plover, Lapwing, Sanderling, Black-tailed Godwit, Turnstone, Black-headed Gull, lesser Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Woodpigeon, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Cetti's Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Starling, Greenfinch.

RSPB Pagham Harbour

Friday 7 March

Still light rain when collected by Richard Osman jut after 9 am for our visit to RSPB Pagham Harbour, south of Chichester.  However, upon arriving perfectly dry as they had received no overnight or early morning rain.  With a present rat problem in the feeding area in front of the Visitors Centre no feeders  but still a visit from both a Great Tit and Dunnock. 

Straight off to the Ferry Pool where the neighbouring feeders were being well attended by Greenfinches, Chaffinch, Long-tailed, Blue and Great Tits along with Dunnock, Robin and Jackdaw.  On the Ferry pool itself mainly Shoveler with eight Shelduck resting on the far bank. On the right shore a Coot, Mallard and a good number of Lapwing along with a handful of Black-tailed Godwits.  Just a few Black-headed Gulls on the water until I also found a handful of Teal  top right of the pool and behind them on a muddy pool a score of Wigeon.  A pair of Mute Swans in the distant field off to the left and overhead a quartering Marsh Harrier and a passing Carrion Crow.  Even a Skylark soaring at the back back of the water.

Wigeon Anas penelope

Checking the nearby river at low tide we found eight Redshank and three Moorhen before taking the anti-clockwise circuit back to the Visitors Centre and recording Magpie, Kestrel and more Jackdaws.

Linnet Carduelis cannabina

Next a short drive to Sidlesham Quay to park the car and then a walk up to and through Halsey's Farm to the North Wall in search of the roosting Long-eared Owls that have been seen for the past week. Approaching the farm lots of Rooks and Carrion Crows with  Buzzard overhead.  Checking the far trees we found a quintet of resting Linnets plus a Magpie and nearing the start of of North Wall a stop to check the bird life in the large pools to our left.  Mainly Teal and Wigeon but a pair of Mallard and a single Little Grebe.  A male Reed Bunting flew in front of us to pause atop a small bush and a Moorhen out in an appearance.

Male Reed Bunting Emberiza schoeniclus

Once on the North Wall we found a foraging Chiffchaff on the far side of the water and the no less than seventeen Curlews on the first open field on the far side of the water to our left (inland) side of the wall. Two Herons flew across and we found four more out on the mud flats along with another Curlew.

Curlew Numenius arquata

We have been given very specific instructions for where to find the roosting Long-eared Owl and told it was very difficult to find being low down below an ivy-coloured tree behind some tall, yellow grass.  The flattened grass at the side of the path atop the wall was a give-away from were to stand and search but still no luck.  A couple of birders joined us from walking the opposite direction and eventually, by moving about three yards further on, I finally found the Long-eared Owl and then spent much time trying to get the other three where to focus their attention.  The bird was not showing well and only with the occasional breeze moving the grass, about five yards away directly below us, were we able to see the pair of dark eyes looking out at us and the mottled face makings.  Richard managed to find the bird when I described the colouration of its ears and, at that moment, the grasses slightly parted to give him a better view.  Not really successful from a photographic point of view but it is behind the grasses shown in the photograph!

Find the Long-eared Owl Asio otus!

Time to return to the car and on the way were told about the large number of Yellowhammers and Stonechats seen near the RSPB Medmerry car park in Earley. So off we went but not before finding the Buzzard resting atop a tree close to Halseys Farm and coming across five Blackbirds between there and Sidlesham.

Buzzard Buteo buteo

Upon arrival we walk a full mile out and back along the farm track without sight of a single bird other than a passing Carrion Crow but under the continuous singing of Skylarks.  However, no sooner had I got back to the car and looking up saw a beautiful male Yellowhammer sitting at the top of the adjacent tree! And before driving away a quartet of Linnets atop the next tree.

Having passed a handsome cock Pheasant on the way, our final stop was for ten minutes at Chichester Marina where we found Tufted Duck, Canada Goose, Mallard, Moorhen and Coot along with magpie, Herring Gull and Woodpigeon. In the end a most enjoyable day, especially given the sighting of both Long-eared Owl and Yellowhammer. 

Teal Anas crecca

Birds seen:

Canada Goose, Mute Swan, Shelduck, Wigeon, Mallard, Shoveler, Teal, Tufted Duck, Pheasant, Little Grebe, Heron, Marsh Harrier, Buzzard, Kestrel, Moorhen, Coot, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew, Redshank, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Woodpigeon, Long-eared Owl, Skylark, Wren, Dunnock, Robin, Blackbird, Chiffchaff, Long-tailed tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Linnet, Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer.

Slimbridge WWT

Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus

Thursday 6 March

Another lovely sunny start to the day and, on this occasion, much warmer than of late with a temperature of 5C as I left Sand Bay on my home with a call in at Slimbridge WWT on the way back to Warsash.  Arriving at Slimbridge at 9.30 having noted the Blackbird as I approached the car park and before entering the site also recording Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and the first of many local Rooks and Jackdaws. Working my way through the Visitors Centre and out to the first pool there were obviously many Mute Swans and Greylag Geese to be seen but, fortunately for me, still a couple of both Bewick's and Whooper Swans on the water behind the building.  Also present very many Shelduck along with Mallard, Tufted Duck, a pair of Pintail, Coot and a small number of Canada Geese.  Ere long I also noted a few Moorhen before continuing on towards the back of the site and the grassy fields bordering the Bristol Channel.

Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus

The small hide of the left of the path revealed a number of teal and the bird feeder was attracting Goldfinch and Chaffinch along with Blue and Great Tits.  Both Robin and Dunnock came to mop up the spillage.  Then at the next hide on the right giving a better view of the next water I was able to find the first of the Cranes plus a sleeping Spoonbill, a single Great Back-backed Gull and more Canada Geese, Greylags and Mute Swans.  here also the first decent sized flocks of Wigeon and Teal and once on the top floor of the Estuary Tower Hide a view of the large number of Barnacle and a single Bar-headed Goose.  To their right and a little further out towards the main channel, a flock of about fifty White-fronted Geese.  Also a chance to get a little closer to the Cranes and also note the few Shoveler and a couple of Avocet on the adjacent water.  Immediately in front of the hide a lone Magpie and a foraging Chiffchaff in the hedges below.

Distant Cranes Grus grus

Making my way back to the centre of he site and onward the twin pools, one deep and the other shallow, time to really appreciate the number of both Mute Swans, Greylag Geese and Shelduck taking advantage of the site a a whole.  Once at the twin pools the deeper water to my left held a single Great Crested Grebe and a Pochard whereas the shallower pool next door held mainly Mallards, Shoveler and Greylags plus a single Lapwing and Cormorant plus about a score of Avocet towards the back of the water.

Lapwing Vanellus vanellus

The long walk took me on to the Leica Hide with views over the meadow towards the Bristol Channel.  Here I found a few of the resident Rooks foraging in the field and further back at least fifty Golden Plover.  below me a calling Cetti's Warbler and a quartet of Snipe resting in one of the cuttings made across the small reedbed.  In the large pool with two small islands further back I found a small flock of Black-tailed Godwits with a number of Dunlin resting and feeding on the islands.  A pair of Oystercatchers were also present along with a handful of Herring Gulls.

Rook Corvus frugilegus

Once at the Kingfisher Hide a chance to see one of the resident pair of Kingfishers along with a Long-tailed Tit above their nesting bank and a Little Grebe further upstream.  The two hanging feeders had attracted a good number of Goldfinch, Greenfinch and Chaffinches plus both Blue and Great Tits.  Even a cock Pheasant wandered in to see if any food might find its way towards him. back on the nearby water a Gadwall and the the appearance of a Wren on the fence below the hide.  Way out at the back of the meadow almost at the sea's edge a couple of Little Egret were finally seen before it was time to make my way back to the car park and prepare for the journey home.

Cock Pheasant Phasianus colchicus

The good thing about the two hour journey home was that t provided a Buzzard over the M5 and once well on along the M4 and A34 a chance to note five Red Kites.

Interestingly, on my way to the final (Kingfisher) Hide I came across a sleeping Brown Hare atop the bank at the side of the path.  Just about everyone stopped to take a closer look, photographs, etc but the hare paid no attention at all.

Brown Hare Lepus europaeus

NOTE: Within the captured British ducks were Eider, Goldeneye and Smew, so a good opportunity to get some close photos for the record as when seen in the "wild" they are always either/both so far away or in poor light.

Male Goldeneye Bucephala clangula

Smew Mergus albellus
