A bright sunny and warm day so quick breath of air around Alfriston then cooked breakfast at the Star Inn. Very nice and well cooked poached egg. All the waiting staff east European as seems to be pretty normal these days.
Travelled onto RSPB Pulborough Brooks and dropped off the latest collection of postage stamps in aid of the Save the Albatross appeal.
Fitted the Sigma 120 – 400mm lens to the camera and headed off around the reserve. A hot day by now. Dragon flies on the ponds and a family of Nuthatches near the ‘pipe pond’. They were making a lot of noise and showing well.
Took a good three hours walking round the reserve visiting most of the hides. Not much on the water apart from ducks in eclipse, lapwings, fallow deer and cattle.
Once back at the visitor centre took more photos of the dragon flies and had a cup of tea and cheese scone. Once refreshed headed into the more wooded area of the reserve but most birds hiding away in the heat. The highland cattle managing the reserve seemed quite at home.
Finally back to the car at 5 P.M. and headed home about half past. Traffic not too bad other than a stretch of M25 so came of at J10 and went via Chertsey.
