RSPB Pulborough Brooks


Birds Photographed Here

Avocet

Very luck to get a reasonably sharp photo of this Avocet – the bird on RSPB’s logo – from a hide from quite a bit of a distance….

Black-Tailed Godwit

A bit of a far-reaching photo today from our RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing a few weeks ago. There were quite a few Black-Tailed Godwits around, but unfortunately all of them…

Chaffinch

Lucky shot with Chaffinch caught while singing.

Dunnock

We had a particularly fruitful outing to RSPB Pulborough Brooks today — double-digit decent photos to publish. Starting with this Dunnock, photographed right next to the entrance. It was…

Goldfinch

This Goldfinch was dining on seeds just a few metres away from the hide.

Greater Whitethroat

Continuing with the outing at RSPB Pulborough Brooks — and introducing another bird that is typically photographed while singing. And once again, I did not manage to get…

Green Woodpecker

This photo of a Green Woodpecker nicely demonstrates how they balance on tree trunks — by using their tail feathers.

Greenfinch

Some lovely autumn colours with this Greenfinch. This bush was right next to a feeder, and we hung around for about 10–15 minutes and managed to see the full…

Lapwing

Little Egret

Last photo from the RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing: not so Little Egret.

Nightingale

An excellent outing to RSPB Pulborough Brooks yielded quite a few nice photos to share. The star of the show was the Nightingale — plenty could be heard…

Northern Pintail

Not the best angle to catch a Northern Pintail, as the most striking feature of this elegant duck is the much longer tail feathers, which are not visible here….

Pheasant

This colourful Pheasant stood right next to the hide as if posing for photos, and then disappeared into the hedge a few minutes later.

Red Kite

Quite a few Red Kites already, but this one flew in so close that it’s worth having another look…

Robin

Rook

During a short picnic break on our walk, we had this Rook gathering some grub from the soil just a few metres away from us. It was not…

Sedge Warbler

Thursday is the day of the improved shot, and I think this one is a solid candidate. The previous version was already quite nice with a great backdrop, but it…

Song Thrush

Stonechat (f)

Still plenty to publish from the RSPB Pulborough Brooks outing. Next up is this lovely female Stonechat — a bird whose name comes from the sound it typically…

Treecreeper

A very elusive little bird — the Treecreeper — lives up to its name, creeping diagonally up trees while collecting insects from the bark, then flying down to…
