Hi Mike,
Farlington Marshes are a great site just outside the city. Easiest if you've got a car or cab it.
Hayling Island is lovely too and good for rare migrants - check http://www.goingbirding.co.uk/hants/birdnews.asp
Have a good trip!

Another vote for Farlington.... The Opus article for the reserve may whet your appetite. When I visited Sussex regularly, it was always on my list of places to visit.
As Joost says, Hayling Island is good too, especially round the oyster beds (if they're still there). They're in the same bit of the bay. There's a car park there, and you can walk in to the marsh along a footpath that links the two areas.
There's a map link on the page.

If you've only time for one, then got to Farlington Mike.

Still 2 hanging around apparently :t:
Thanks everybody for the information in the end we went to Hayling Island only because we had a lot of valuable equipment in the car and I didn't want to leave it unattended, perhaps its me being ultra cautious. I picked up 25 species including 2 year first, not bad especially as it was cold and windy.. We will visit Farlington on our next journey to France in July.,

Wise decision Mike, Farlington has had problems with car break-ins
