RSPB Pulborough Brooks
Birds Photographed Here
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….
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…
The weather forecast a few days ago for Sunday looked very promising for photography: 14°C and lots of sun. Reality once again let us down somewhat. But even…
A very rare photo — at least for me — where I managed to capture more than one bird species in the same shot with both in focus….
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…
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…
A close encounter with a Green Woodpecker revealed a detail I’m sure I had seen before but never really noticed: the cheeks of this bird are as red as its…

Not exactly a wild bird in a reserve, but this fully white Rock Dove was snapped in the canteen of RSPB Pulborough Brooks.
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…
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…
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…
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…
