Please avoid landing on or paddling close to islands and spits that support nesting birds, such as Fowley, Pilsey, Stakes and Ella Nore. There are nesting terns, waders and gulls in a number of places around the Harbour. They may have taken advantage of the reduction in human activity due to the current restrictions to

We've been working with ESSC on some adjustments to the standard courses that we run, correcting errors and improving existing courses so that we have some for all wind directions. We've also revitalised the shorter courses... One of the main intentions was to solve 'Echo' as a first mark where there's many boats arriving at the same time.

Virtual walk on the wild side
Living north of the Downs, I am currently denied even a view of Chichester Harbour. However this absence from water has provided me with time to return to my own roots in natural resource management and to write about the beasts, mini and not so mini, of our amazing harbour.
