The Society part-funded this work, which should contribute much to our understanding of the species’ breeding ecology in Sussex.
Thanks to all partners.

Common Tern chicks have hatched at Warnham LNR. @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds #terns
Honey-buzzards have been studied and surveyed in Sussex since the early 1990s, with many chicks ringed at the nest as part of a wider project in Britain.
Non-breeding Honey-buzzards in Sussex today: pair plus unpaired female, soaring with just fledged Goshawk. Nesting HBs much harder to see now. @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social
Please do submit any nesting house martin records via BirdTrack, with breeding evidence and number of occupied nests.
@sussexornitholo.bsky.social have a county wide study this year.
If you want to visit a known site in Sussex some are still available request here

Today’s walk at #RSPBBroadwaterWarren was under leaden skies, risk of a shower lashing, a gusty sou’westerly, so my bird list was reduced to: Blackbird; Blackcap; Blue & Coal Tit; Buzzard; Chiffchaff; Crow; Great Spotted WP; Jackdaw; Robin; Siskin; Woodpigeon; Wren

Early this morning I counted 17 Avocet chicks around Ferry Pool at Pagham Harbour, with many more adults sitting on nests. @selseybirder.bsky.social @sussexornitholo.bsky.social #birds #ukbirds
