Around the feeders it was quite busy; a Bittern had been seen during the week but despite several attempts by volunteers to find it, it had not been seen for the last two days.. of course it knew I would come to visit and had scarpered!
What was great was that several of the trees near the visitor centre played hosts to flocks of chirping Siskins... lovely :D
But could only get a shot of them (dreadful light today...) when they came to the feeders near the first hide.
As nothing much was doing I headed over to Pulborough Brooks... where had all the birds gone! Not even a Canada Goose. A flurry of crows went up and a Fieldfare was in amongst them but that was about it.. it was also threatening rain.
This herd of cows munched regardless....
And on the way out, a Pied Wagtail amongst the regulars at the feeders
And with that I headed home. Warnham Nature Reserve and Pulborough Brooks are now my local patches... both about the same distance away.. albeit in opposite directions :D

Glad to hear you're finding your way to the local birdy spots. I hope you get settled soon. Those boxes seem never-ending at first, but you'll soon see your floor again.
By the way, I'm having to use the name/URL method of leaving a comment, as if I use my blog details I keep getting a message that I haven't entered the words correctly. I believe this is a widespread issue.
ah... hadn't heard that point Diane...I don't like the new word verification.. really is trying!!]
The wagtail and the cow are wearing matching coats, Tricia. ;-)
Sounds like you've got a couple of great 'locals' Tricia.
I'm glad you've finally moved in Tricia. Good luck with the boxes! Look forward to reading more about your two new local patches.
