This is a blog recording various happenings on Pagham Beach in West Sussex on the south coast of the U.K. Although only set up in January 2014 previous mentions of the beach can be found on my paghambirder blog which is devoted to my lifelong hobby of birding but focused on sightings in and around Pagham Harbour.

Fox cubs on the beach.
Walking along the beach early yesterday morning I was surprised to find these fox cubs on the rock revetment...it was good to see a Kingfisher with them but it was too quick for a photo!

Have they got a home here? |
