RSPB Pulborough Brooks for Nightingales and White-tailed Eagle with the Ashdown Bird Group

7th April 2024

Our most recent outing took us to Pulborough Brooks in West Sussex where the focus was on seeing early migrant birds.  

  • We heard 2 nightingales near the Visitor Centre.  At Fattengates Courtyard we heard and then got a glimpse of a 3rd as it flew round the corner into the scrub.
  • Also seen were my first blackcaps of the year - they were all over the site.

  • There were a couple of house martins and swallows over the brooks.

  • After lunch we relocated to the Rackham raptor view point where we were lucky to get cracking flight views of the resident white-tailed eagle.
