Down on the coast along Meon Shore and Titchfield Haven, spring is advancing. Birds are starting to pair up courtship is in the air. Soon the Brend Geese and the Sanderlings will be off to their breeding grounds. Other birds who breed on our shores will arrive Avocents have started to arrive and soon I expect to spot returning Common Terns.
Canada Geese are no native birds, having been introduced from North America some 300 years ago. After the Second World War, they spread across the UK. They are now found in large numbers. These birds do not migrate from the UK and in some areas are now considered a pest.
Cormorant and Little Greebe fishing.
Some regular birds on at the Haven.
Lapwing.
Godwit
Redshank.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
Andy, is the Gadwitt related to the Godwit? I posted this four days ago:

Hello David – they are Godwits my post had a typo! We get Bar-tailed and Black- tailed Godwits here in the UK in the winter but not the Marbled you posted.

Sorry our Geese are so unruly Andy! They miss the maple syrup! It’s in their DNA and If they don’t get it, they turn into a bunch of hockey players by Nature!

I like when the geese hiss at one another and five seconds later, they are best buddies paddling along together again.
