The
steady flight of a Kestrel
towards the west parallel to Old Shoreham Toll
Bridge was my first bird of prey seen in 2011.
A
couple of Little Grebes
were seen diving under a mid-tide River
Adur just south of the inlet by Cuckoo's Corner.

The
first four legged wild mammal of the year was a Fox
in Corbyn Crescent, Shoreham, by the twitten
on the way home from the pub. About 8:00 am
I was awoken by the yapping of the Herring
Gulls, but I could not see them from my
window. A cacophony of Starlings in
the Sycamore Tree in Corbyn Crescent were the first birds recognised from
their silhouettes in the bare branches, followed immediately by a closer
view of a Collared Dove.
