One of our lovely volunteers, Gary Trew, has just reported a spoonbill on the North Brooks, best seen from Hanger View ( @ 11.30 am).

3 garganey still on the North Brooks ( again viewable from Hanger View or Nettley's Hide).  Nightingales and a nice collection of warblers (garden, willow, sedge, lesser and common whitethroat, blackcap and chiffchaff) in fine voice on my early morning breeding bird survey.  Cuckoo heard from Adder alley.

The male garganey really is a smart little duck - here is a photo of one of the Pulborough birds taken yesterday by Chris and Juliet Moore

And just in case you haven't had your fill of nightingales yet...

Thanks again to Chris and Juliet for the great photos!
