Last week the starlings displayed impressively at Arundel WWT. A kingfisher landed on the post in front of the Scrape hide where many people were hoping for a view. Unfortunately an adult poked their arm through the opening in front of them and waved it up and down saying "there it is!". Surprisingly the kingfisher did not hang around!
