Birdwatch at RSPB PUlborough Brooks with Peter Hughes
With some rain and high tides recently, the brooks here at Pulborough are finally looking a bit wetter than of late, just in time to provide good feeding conditions and refuge for the first of the wintering ducks.
Wigeon, teal, shoveler and pintail will be appearing in increasing numbers over the next few weeks but before the really big numbers arrive, there is a period when having some water on the brooks is important for another group of birds.
Several species of waders turn up on wetland sites across the country during September and October.
