PB re-visited

Been a while since I have been to Pulborough Brooks, but decided to give this a bash this morning especially as the sun was trying to make an appearance for the first time in which felt a very long time! Such has been my elusiveness from this site I was asked for my RSPB membership upon arrival and was greeted by Russ who joined us along the trail to the north brooks, proved to be a good choice as between us, we managed to see the Spoonbill depart southwards distantly, as we approached the hangar, well spotted Russ!, the north brooks held good numbers of wildfowl including Pintail, whilst moving around to Winpenny a single Chiff Chaff was feeding on the deck in the cattle field. Good number of Ruff were seen at Winpenny aswell as Snipe, a couple of Dunlin and Black-tailed Godwit. We saw 2 Little-ringed Plovers from Westmead and good number of Fieldfare and Redwing were still around. Good company around the reserve, I have missed this place!
