| Kingfisher, Alcedo atthis |
Yesterday there was a blue sky so I visited Arundel again I and found an adult Water Vole with a
white patch on its face. Perhaps this is an old vole.
A visit to Arundel WWT was very fruitful as I was able to
get much closer to a Kingfisher near the Sand Martin Hide. I finally spotted
the Great Spotted Woodpecker which I
have heard many times before by the Nuthatch Hide.
I revisited Waltham Brooks and saw two Barn Owls again but
neither came close. A final visit to Mill Road gave me a different adult Water Vole and a juvenile in
Patch’s area. They ate their salads about a metre apart. The juvenile sat on a
branch of a bush in the middle of the rife and plopped into the water, causing
the adult to take fright and do its own plop.
