Shore Lark at Pevensey Bay

Shore Lark

The recent reports of a Shore Lark at Pevensey in East Sussex were too good to resist given the proximity to Bexhill. The guidance given on various websites meant that it was fairly easy to find the location and the addition of half a dozen additional local birders made it easier to track down the bird which was seen within a ca. 1Km stretch of the beach. Eventually it settled near the Martello Tower and whilst feeding allowed very close views down to 10 metres. Close inspection showed that the 'horns' were just about visible. Another great day and another first.
