Friday 11th March - A Spring Bird !

Managed a fleeting visit to Pulborough Brooks. Temperature not more than 9c but it was momentarily bright and a little Spring-like. A Little-Ringed Plover was on the North brooks, and is my first Spring migrant this year and was worthy of a record photo, if a little distant. Despite the low temperature an Adder was visible on the footpath taking in some rays. A single White-fronted Goose was at the back of the brooks and had characteristics of the Greenland race. The water levels were still reasonable and there were still numbers of Wigeon, Teal and Shoveler with just 2 Pintail seen.
