A man in a striped shirt is on a phone. Behind him is a bar with various optics on display.
The barman.

A white bird is just taking from from some water. It has a black crown and a yellow bill which has a small fish in it.
A Little Tern with its catch does double duty today for both #BirdOfTheDay with birds in their element & #SuperSeabirdSunday
There are plans to increase the shingle bank on my WeBS route to encourage them to breed so I’m really hoping that comes to fruition.
The one in the top left of the last photo looks like a Hornbill! 😆

I didn’t attempt a photo as it would have been like your first one but with added waves.
An excellent evening of comedy at Portsmouth Distillery last night headlined by @jocaulfield.bsky.social
Would highly recommend catching Jo on her current tour, a true master of the well crafted gag. We had a great time!(Support acts were fab as well but don’t appear to be on here yet).
Gorgeous photo of a beautiful place!

A landscape framed by a hide window. Some green land goes into an expanse of water.
A view over the inland sea that is RSPB Pulborough Brooks on the Chichester RSPB Group field trip this morning. Nothing out of the ordinary but it was nice to get most of the nice regulars like Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Bullfinch and hundreds of Black-tailed Godwits. And we stayed dry!!!!!

A pebbly beach with a couple of bits of seaweed. In the middle is a small bird looking at the camera. It has a white body, brown back and orange bill.
The Tuesday birders had a little jaunt over the Hampshire border to Hayling Island. Long-tailed Duck, Greater Scaup & Black-necked Grebes from the oyster beds & then the lovely little Snow Bunting by the Sailing Club. It was superbly camouflaged amongst the pebbles.

With the mid & high ranges turned up I can hear a fair bit of birdsong now (but not all) It makes me realise how many birds I must have missed in the previous decades!
