I love Titchfield Haven and will often head down that way once or twice a year. I’ve never walked the canal. I know it’s there but for some reason we’ve always missed it, favouring the beach, the nature reserve etc. I’ve seen a Marsh Harrier there in the past and if I render correctly a Little Owl. Your doing identification skills are 1000000 times better than mine, would love to slow down and learn them.

It's worth exploring the Canal side, although I would probably only go there to see a target species such as the Glossy Ibis. I prefer the reserve and coastal section as you get much closer views of the various species, especially from the hides on the reserve. And you can never be sure what will turn up - I was lucky last year to see a Glossy Ibis on the beach and able to get some lovely video!
