| Chiffchaff, Hylloscopus collybita |
On Saturday I visited Pulborough Brooks and heard
Nightingales and even saw one. There were 4 Avocets in front of Nettley’s Hide.
An obliging Chiffchaff settled on a branch by Jubbs View. While I was attempting to photograph a pondskater
I spotted a female Great Crested Newt laying eggs on pondweed, a Potamogeton. A male Large Red
Damselfly landed nearby. It still had its yellow stripe which will turn red as
it matures.
