Can't believe I have a Grey Phalarope before a house sparrow!

Went down to the coast today and spent an hour or 2 getting some photos prior to my son's football game in Brighton. I can't believe I have photos of a Grey Phalarope but not yet a house sparrow! Unfortunately the lightng wasn't geat (very cloudy on the coast) but got a few good shots. Also managed to add a cormorant to my list of photographed birds.
15. Grey Phalarope

16. Cormorant

Also managed to get a few more pictures of red-breasted mergansers. I particularly like the first pic as the males are trying so hard but the female looks particularly unimpressed!!
