Here is an enlarged shot of the greater and lesser egret for comparison. That concludes our trip to WWT Arundel. Next, we visited the Amberley Museum. Here is an info-board mentioning that word I like – PIGEON!
Our next excursion was to Warnham nature reserve. We found some cormorants and gulls on the main lake as we entered.
In the main hide we spotted.....wood pigeon.
Also, greenfinch.
You might also notice apples.....stuck onto the trees and left on the ground. They were put there for the birds to eat, but we have no idea where they came from originally, as they didn't have apple trees on the reserve that we could see.
The wood pigeons were still there...one of which was strange. I was wondering if it might be a stock dove – but perhaps it was just a youngster without proper markings yet.
Then we found a magpie....with rough patches in its feathering.
