31/03/2016. Close to home all day

Thursday 31 March 2016
Selby Road, Uckfield

Our local East Grinstead Group were invited to an Easter event at the Selby Road Nature Reserve.  I am ashamed to say that,  despite living less than a mile away, I had never heard of it.  The weather was glorious with bright sunshine, no wind and clear skies.  The local community turned out in force and enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon.


  • With so many people in a confined space there were few birds with the best sightings in the skies overhead where a Sparrowhawk and a Buzzard provided the highlights.




  • In the evening, at Weir Wood reservoir I enjoyed spectacular views of 5 drake Mandarins competing for the attention of one female.


I agreed to visit the Selby Road reserve again, when things are quieter and more normal, to update the residents on the birds on show there - a labour of love on my own doorstep!
