One day, late March 2012 I was walking along Worthing Pier when I spotted a little bird just sitting on a bench. It was so exhausted it actually let me pick it up! I held it for a few minutes then put it on top of the wind break in the middle of the walkway. By the time we had walked to the end and back it had gone. I’m assuming it had flown over from the continent and was just catching its breath. I think its a Green Finch but can’t be certain.
