RSPB Pagham Harbour
Birds Photographed Here
The Bar-tailed Godwit is a very rare bird – never had a photograph of it, and in fact we haven’t seen it before. Hence sharing this slightly blurrier…
We had a lovely outing yesterday at RSPB Farnham Heath, but I didn’t manage to get a single shot of a bird we haven’t had yet — and…
We haven’t had a bird of prey for a little while, so time to fix that. Buzzards are very versatile hunters, which makes them one of the most…
Large parts of RSPB Pagham Harbour were closed off to give ground-nesting birds some privacy to build their nests and raise their chicks. Quite a few species roost…
