Pulborough Brooks

 Margie and I had a very pleasant wander around RSPB Pulborough Brooks yesterday, bit chilly but the predicted showers held off, out of the wind it was reasonably warm!! Best sighting was an Adder, which did it's best to hide behind several blades of grass! Redshank Porn, Avocets and several singing Blackcaps among the other highlights! Few of our pics below! As normal mine are birds Margie's are the rest unless otherwise stated!

Grey Heron gave a flypast just out of the visitor center





The view across the Brooks noticeably less water than our last visit


Song Thrush as we walked down the Zigzags, couple of Blackcaps and several Chiffchaffs singing here



Lots of Robins around the trail

Small, feisty and very loud, no not Margie this Wren, lots about! 




Chaffinch


Margie took this !! 

She also got a bit arty with the lilies in the small pond at Fattengates

Underwater Lily



Margie's Dunnock pic, lots of these about as well



Blossom looking nice

Redshank



This guy did a bit of a display seemed to work next thing we know it's a bonkfest!

Ready or not!

Geronimo!!



Yeah Baby!!!

Avocet having a snooze, we saw about ten

Lapwing

Shoveller throwing some moves






Adder! tricky to get a shot had to do manual focus, which should give you some idea of how bad my eyes are!!










Chiffchaff, loads of these singing this was the one that posed the best!




Not mush room left on this tree for Fungi!! See what I did there!




Little Egret




Lots of Flowers around the trails, Margie filled her boots!



















Cat log! Well if you live in Margie's world anyway😏






Linnet

Chaffinch


Blackcap, gave us a bit of a runaround

Flitting about








Landed right above our head!

Before settling down and giving us a concert






Black-tailed Godwit


Another Blackcap, this one used the Sun to confound!






A highly enjoyable walk around, Birds singing everywhere, won't be long until the Nightingales return so another visit will be required soon!
