Summer evenings are great for a quiet country walk ....Pulborough Brooks seemed an ideal venue and having arrived at about 6.30 we made our way to Fattengates and sat in perfect peace and quiet in the children's study shelter. Not a sound and no activity until a small robin like bird appeared underneath a bramble and showed itself for a few short seconds on a huge tree trunk the other side of the path...a juvenile Nightingale. It hopped momentarily onto a post and quickly disappeared from view.
Short and sweet but what a treat!
Apart from this little other birdlife was showing. It was very hot and any birds were either well hidden or, like this Song Thrush, were sunning themselves!
We only took binoculars but wished we could have had a closer look at the waders from the Hanger viewpoint but could only make out Black Tailed Godwits, Redshank and Lapwing.
A Grey Squirrel was feeding in the wood*********************
