Did a couole of hours first thing for little more than a few Red-throated Divers. Spent lunch sitting in the car at West Runcton, where an adult and 1st win (or 2nd cal year as people seem to like these days!). Returned home via Sparham Pools, where up to 4 chiffchaff were present in the bitter cold! However the best sighting here was of an Otter, that showed briefly a couple of times in the water before climbing up a vegetated bank and off.The best bird recently was a male Blackcap in the garden, amazingly when a Chiffchaff was also present, amazing because I had seen neither this winter!PS Selsey Birder, you really show get out more if your complaining about West Sussex. I used to bird the area, particularly Pagham and I still occasionally miss it even though I am now rooted in Norfolk. By the way do you happen to know Tim Edwards?PPS sorry Selsey Birder, I now realise that your from Hampshire!</blockquote>
