Having abandoned a planned visit to Pulborough Brooks due to rain, we diverted to Woods Mill as the rain stopped. Bit quiet this late in the morning but we did hear a couple of bursts from a Nightingale a Redstart was calling in the woods but evaded us in the treetops, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Common Whitethroats were also present as was the ever elusive Cetti's Warbler, who we did get eyes on, but was too sneaky for the camera. Stars of a somewhat dull show were the Reed Warblers one of which did show ok! Pair of Sparrowhawks soared above and there were a couple of Jays flying about but a fairly slow visit! Although once again I demonstrated incredible bravery in the face of the ferocious beasts in the back field! Few of mine and Margie's pics below!

| The Reed Warbler started off a bit elusive and frankly didn't get much more cooperative, but I winkled a couple of ok shots on manual focus, my eyes appear to be better than I thought! |
