| Common Snipe, Gallinago gallinago |
On
Saturday I visited Storrington Museum where moth expert Bob Palmer gave a
talk to launch his exhibition of moths and butterflies
entitled "Flutter-Bys and Fly-By-Nights". This will last
for two months. Butterfly Conservation Sussex, had a stall and excellent display of butterfly photographs and information by Neil Hulme.
Afterwards
I visited nearby Pulborough Brooks RSPB reserve. Swallows, Sand and House Martins were flying over the brooks. At Nettley’s hide I saw 2
Snipe and a Peregrine Falcon tore apart a large bird in
the distance. A Little Egret caught a fish to complete a satisfying walk in the
rain.
