A Painted Lady Butterfly was seen in Shoreham.

Adur Butterfly Flight Times

25 October 2018

A flock of a hundred plus Lapwings were back on the mud flats nearest to the Tollbridge at low tide in the afternoon. They were very skitty, and after five minutes something spooked the whole flock and the big mud flat to the north of the Tollbridge was bare again. The Lapwings flew around a bit and then decamped to the mud on the inside of the meander bank, almost underneath the Flyover.

21 October 2018

A small pod of Bottle-nosed Dolphins were seen out off Shoreham.

Wall Lizard

The sun warmed the air in the afternoon, and prompted the Wall Lizards, Podarcis muralis, on and around the carnot wall of Shoreham Fort. Nineteen separate lizards were noted in sizes from juvenile to adult. This was a fair showing and the best since March 2017

9 October 2018
As the afternoon wore on, the sun came out under a clear blue sky, which prompted an unplanned visit to the top part of MiIl Hill. The new growths of Hemp Agrimony attracted five Red Admirals on the middle gentle slopes of MiIl Hill near the Copse.
