Brianne Reeve (Shoreham & District Ornithological Society) led the walk on Lancing Ring and meadows on behalf of the Friends of Lancing Ring. On a damp and overcast days with intermittent showers, we were greeted by a screaming pair of Swifts, but otherwise it was more of an audio show, the birds calling from the bushes. An exception was a Yellowhammer on a Gorse bush. The full bird count was numerous, but the more vocal of the birds present were Whitethroats, Blackcaps, Lesser Whitethroats, with at least one Great Spotted Woodpecker, and others including Blue Tits, Robins, Chiffchaffs, Linnets, Greenfinches and Wrens.
