Drove to Pulborough via Coldwaltham and parked up to look for the Great Grey Shrike. No sign from gate but heavy plant moving around so set off for waterworks and scanned from railway crossing. No sign and only Chiffchaff and Grey Wagtail. Returned and immediately found the bird looking from the railway bridge towards the canal bridge and then returned to the car to break out scope and tripod for better views.
Off to PB in deteriorating weather where just 10 or so Reed Buntings in hedge, nil from south brooks hides and two distant White-fronted Geese on north brooks. A few winter thrushes on the heathland and main reserve probably totalled 35 Fieldfare and less than half that for Redwing. Also appeared to be more Blackbirds than usual.
