Little-ringed Plovers return - Pulborough Brooks

A good mixture of winter and spring birds on a cold lunchtime visit to Pulborough Brooks. A nice flock of c60 Linnet gathered in the field underneath the visitor centre and large numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare were along the trails leading down to the north brooks with the odd Chiff Chaff singing along the way. Out on the north brooks from the hangar still large number of winter duck with Teal, Wigeon, Shoveler and Pintail present still in good numbers, there was 4 plovers present very distant on the far pool and after some scrutiny 2 were Ringed whilst the other 2 were Little Ringed, slightly better views were gained from Jupps viewpoint where 9 Black-tailed Godwits and 2 Ruff were also seen. It was whilst I was here that the 'meow' call of the Mediterranean Gull was heard and looking above I was pleased to see 6 adults passing overhead quite high up with 4 Black-headed Gulls all heading north-east . 2 Ravens were also seen over the site.
