An Atlantic storm went through yesterday and seems to have whipped up things a bit round here. At Selsey Bill this morning there was a Long-tailed Skua, a few Arctic Skuas, a Sooty and two Mediterranean Shearwaters- I managed to connect with the Sooty which is a Peninsula tick- now on 194 locally and 175 for the year. The Peninsula year list is now on a record breaking 207 with Bart, the top local lister, having seen 198 of them which is pretty incredible.
After the Bill I joined Ian and Andrew at Church Norton where we had a Osprey and three Spoonbill and there were also three Spotted Flycatchers behind the hide.
All of todays news from the Peninsula as usual on the blog:

This rather lanky Knot got us scratching our heads for a bit this morning
