Pulborough Brooks
Just because we hate to
be defeated (see
last week),
we took the opportunity of yet another in a long line of rainy, blustery days to
take a small stroll around
RSPB Pulborough Brooks, although this time we were sure of reaching our
destination as we took the
bike directly to the visitors centre car park. Once on the reserve we were treated to
yet more rain and howling wind but also to roaming flocks of Fieldfares and
Redwings and the spectacle of hordes of wildfowl
circling the North Brooks.
The view from The Hanger with the brooks
healthily full of water.
Some very washed out looking Fly Agarics.
Art Deco was around long before the 1920s
A perfectly formed Parasol (Macrolepiota
procera)
Nettley's Hide, looking out onto pooled waters, feeding Fallow Deer
and thousands of wintering ducks, geese, swans and waders.
