I've probably said it many times before, but Pulbrough Brooks is one of my favourite reserves. It's such a lovely place and a nice walk. It probably helps that it's always been pretty much a glorious day when I've been there too! Highly recommended.
One of the first birds we saw was a Nightingale, great! First for the year and whilst a little covered by branches, sitting obviously on a tree. We saw 4 overall with one obligingly hopping around on the floor for us. There were plenty of Green Woodpecker around, with 4 sightings throughout the trip. Whitethroat, Blackcap and Chiffchaff were also in plentiful supply but we were surprised not to see any Bullfinch. A selection of Swaloow, House Martin and Sand Martin were all spotted. Mammals were doing well here too - another mouse, many deer and hundreds of rabbits. There was also a single Skylark singing away.
