Persistent rain and resulting flooding is putting the knackers on any lengthy birding sessions so I've been popping out in between and during showers over the last couple of days.
After failing to get any decent views or photos of Slavs since I've moved down here I decided to go and twitch the wintering bird at Platinum Jubilee Park nearby in Chichester. Amazing to see one in an urban tiny pond and there was a nice little supporting cast for an urban pond too including 3 Chiffchaff, 12 Reed Bunting, Water Rail and Stonechat.
I also managed to get out and check Ferry yesterday and then got driven back by the rain when I tried to check the Tramway and this morning I aborted a gulling session on East Side after heavy rain started.
So far, despite a couple of close calls, the water fortunately has only flooded the garden and patio and not the house (yet!), but several local roads are closed making it a bit of a mission getting on and off 'Sidlesham Island'.
