There were three lifetime firsts, Serin and Quail from the same morning at Shooters Bottom, and Yellow-legged Gull from Prince's Park.
There were noticeably few wildfowl and wader species, but good numbers of raptors with seven species; Hobbies are almost guaranteed on Pevensey Levels at the moment. Eight species of gull is pleasing, as are seven species of warbler and three of bunting.
Other notable species include Turtle Dove, Lesser Whitethroat, Cuckoo, Marsh Harrier, Bullfinch and Spotted Flycatcher.
The ones that got away, species I expected to see but did not, were Shelduck and Treecreeper.
