Morning at Pulborough

A disappointing day, mostly overcast. 

A nice Ruff was in close at Westmead as were a pair of noisily mating Redshanks.

Duck numbers  now substantially reduced with most Wigeon and Pintail departed.

A single Adder warming in the occasional bout of sunshine but no first Orange Tip for the year despite plenty of Cuckooflower.

Lunch with CL on the terrace where 7+ Fieldfares below and to the left of the fenceline were a nice surprise; I've seen very few winter thrushes this year.

One of several bees on the tea terrace garden was taken away for ID.

No photos today.
