We've just had a report from our volunteers to say that 9 Bewick's swans have flown in to roost on the North Brooks - this is the highest count so far this winter at Pulborough Brooks.

It's a little more murky at the moment than suggested by the lovely photo from volunteer Chris Prince - I'll have to admit that it wasn't taken today though!

Plenty of other wintery wildlife has been seen here over the past couple of days.  Friday's highlights were a great white egret, merlin, marsh harrier and peregrine amongst the lovely range of dabbling ducks, beautiful snipe, linnets, stonechats and meadow pipits.  Today, in addition to the Bewick's swan, we've had reports of firecrest, redpoll, siskin, peregrine, snipe and black-tailed godwit.
