Decided to visit Pulborough Brooks, the local RSPB reserve, there are always good birds here. It's just that at the weekends it gets a bit crowded. So off I went thinking to myself that Monday would be a quiet day. It started well but, as the most inconsiderate birders in the world had also decided to visit, it all ended up as a bit of a farce. Three birders from Planet Zork running round the zig-zag shouting "Bullfinch, Bullfinch!!!!" as loud as possible - T*****s. Then to cap it all a mad blonde haired woman screaming into her mobile phone at the top of her voice, obviously not a birder, and remonstrating with her was tantamount to suicide. So off to Waltham Brooks for some peace and quiet.
The most obliging Short-eared Owl turned up at just on 13:00 and was more inclined to sit than hunt, which was good for me as the light wasn't too bad. So I went home feeling that the day wasn't so bad and that the cold, hunger and thirst were nothing to bother about and you can stuff inconsiderate birders where they belong.
