Thanks to volunteer Graham for his sightings report and photos.
The early morning mist at Pulborough Brooks on Sunday made the numerous spider's webs easy to spot around Upperton’s Pond.
Various flowers were also covered in dew droplets, including Forget-me-nots and Narrow-leaved Birdsfoot Trefoil.
The mist soon lifted and the sun came out for the whole day. By the zigzag path a Dandelion clock caught my eye.
At West Mead Hide a Greenshank was sharing the scrape with a Little Egret. It was not long before a Hobby and a Marsh Harrier put in an appearance, and on two occasions a female Kestrel was chased out of a nearby Oak by a Magpie. As I was getting ready to move on to Winpenny Hide a visitor spotted the Marsh Harrier perched on a distant dead tree, so I shared scoped views of this before leaving.
At Winpenny Hide a Grey Heron adopted an interesting pose to make the most of the warmth of the sun.
Two Hobbies provided some aerial action, and the previously seen Marsh Harrier flew past on its way to the North Brooks. A Buzzard came within range for some reasonable flight shots.
I was joined at Winpenny Hide by fellow Hides and Trails volunteer Nick. We were soon making our way along Winpenny Path, where I noticed a Garden Spider crawling across a leaf.
Nick moved on to Hanger View while I diverted to the Ditch Dipping Ponds where I saw at least four Willow Emerald Damselflies. At a certain angle one of them took on a shining bronze hue in the reflected sunlight.
I was joined by some visitors, one of whom spotted the most colourful find of the day, a Sycamore Moth caterpillar.
I re-joined Nick at Hanger View for some scoped views of White Stork, Ruff and Black-tailed Godwits. Martin also joined us there and I made my way back to the visitor centre with him, briefly stopping at the Pig Run and the Ditch Dipping Ponds on the way.
After signing out I made a short visit to the heathland with the aim of getting a final photo. I opted for a simple overhead shot of a small clump of Juniper Haircap Moss .
