Yesterday the snow had mostly gone and we had blue skies on
the coast so I visited Arundel WWT again. There was no sign of Ratty by
Mill Road, but the pair of Egyptian Geese were grazing in the meadow. I saw the
Kingfisher in flight on the opposite side of the lake from the Sand Martin
hide. Mark joined me later and we were fortunate to see a Snipe feeding in
front of the Scrape Hide. The Tree Creeper feeder provided some photo opportunities, especially when the Nuthatch arrived.
