Its been a busy but nice week, travelling into work is always a lengthy process and as I sat in the traffic jam the other morning I was greeted with so many Robins singing as I crawled 1 mile in 20 minutes, then came the sound of 2 Song Thrush and just as I was getting to the end of the wooded area an Owl hooted. At lunch I was free to go so went to Pagham nature reserve, no sign of ‘George’ the resident Pheasant but the Kestrel was hovering above, quite higher than normal. As I walked on a small bird flitting around a tree took my attention and I was pleased to manage a very long shot of the Goldcrest.
The lone Redshank and Little Egret braved the raw wind as they searched for food.
Large flocks of Lapwing flew over heading for the scrape, and then a flock of either Whimbrel or Curlew came into view as they too went towards the scrape, much too fast to take a photo.Heading back to the centre I watched while the birds enjoyed the nuts and seeds with a slight difference of opinion between 2 Great tits. I sat outside at one of the picnic tables while I had a late lunch, a Robin sat in the bush alongside chattering away so lightly it was difficult to hear, I had a small amount of grated cheese left so I threw that down and whoosh it was gone! By the time I had packed everything up it was starting to rain so headed off home after just one and a half hours of peace and tranquillity..
