Sounds a good day. We heard a nightingale when we went there last month, but didn't see it. Unfortunately we arrived back at the visitor centre when it was about to close, so we didn't get to see the barn owl nest - must go back soon!

Thanks for your recommendation, I finally got round to paying visit to Pulborough today. Glorious weather.

I got kinda sucked in though, I was there 7 hours !!!!

Saw most of what you saw Brian, plus a few differences.

What a great place, excellent visitor centre - you gotta try the lemon fudge cake.

I finally left having bought yet another book and a new set of bins for the 'missus'

Glad you had a good day,Kevin,a good list of birds.
I was interested to see you listed Marsh Warbler,pretty rare in Sussex I'd imagine.

Sighting confirmed by a second party - thankfully :t:
