@SouthernRailUK my partner has accidentally left her bag with her work laptop on the 18:39 to London via Haywards Heath. Is there anything you can do?

@colin_firman Hi Colin -- I'm the Recorder for the Sussex Ornithological Society. I understand you had a Hoopoe at Kidds Hill this year? Would you mind emailing [email protected] so I can send a quick form to ensure it gets published in the Sussex Bird Report? Best regards

@linseygooding Hi Linsey -- I'm the Recorder for the Sussex Ornithological Society. I understand you had a Night Heron at Weir Wood Resr? Would you mind emailing [email protected] so I can send a quick form to ensure it gets published in the Sussex Bird Report? Best regards

@Mark_Vidler84 just north of the pagoda at about TQ626021 - but they go missing for long periods!

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

One of the four Penduline Tits at West Rise yesterday - two miserable hours with water-filled boots gave way to one unforgettable hour when they turned up in the sunshine and fed right in front of me!

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@aaron681830712 the pagoda yes - a couple of Beardies calling there

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@Trumpet_Major correct - must be partial leucism or 'progressive greying'

[Wildstarts @WildstartsUK]

A flock of Penduline Tits is hanging out at West Rise Marsh in Eastbourne! We watched four of these bandit-masked beauties quietly feeding on the reedmace this morning

The sea has been rough off the Sussex coast lately. This young Little Gull, the smallest gull species in the world and normally far at sea, was dancing over the surf this morning.

A lovely Siberian Chiffchaff first heard calling then ending up in the nets was this morning's highlight at Cissbury Ring

@Birduder344 thermal imager and a lucky moment

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

Scanning for Redwings in the dark produced a garden tick with 20 Brent Geese calling as they flew west tonight (one out of frame)!

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

Today became unforgettable very suddenly

Blackburnian Warbler, Bryher, this afternoon

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@ianeagle67 lucky to have her - beautiful!

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

A brief dog interlude: Bentham is two today! She brightens every day

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@mostlyscarce what a pair 😁

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@ianeagle67 he/she's gorgeous!

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@BrittenKit both made my week - Arcade Fire put on a spectacular show

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

Honey Buzzard over the garden this morning! My third Worthing tick this week after Wryneck and Black Tern. This one earned by a lazy start after Arcade Fire at the O2 last night

[David Campbell @devilbirder]

@MallalieuMark Thanks. Yes I put if out as a juvenile
