Birding walk round part of Pagham Harbour and Pagham beach, plus houses and Pagham church - 24th March 2024

Towards the end of March I was staying at Church Farm Holiday Park in Pagham for a week.  On Sunday I decided to go for a walk along the North Wall at Pagham Harbour nature reserve.
 
This lovely house with a thatched roof was at the end of the lane that led to the nature reserve

It was low tide and there were several Redshanks in the distance


Tranquil reedbeds along the edge of the reserve

Three Little Egrets waddling around in a flooded field


This lovely dog followed me for a little while along the path on the North Wall

Large building viewed from the North Wall across the flooded fields

Three Roe deer disturbed a Grey Heron as they ran along the edge of a flooded field



Houses and church in the distance as I walked back to Pagham along the edge of the nature reserve

The tide had come in during my walk


Pony with star-covered coat in a field near the entrance to the nature reserve

A Jackdaw flew past the light-coloured horse just as I was taking a photograph

I then walked to Pagham beach where I saw a group of Eider ducks




A Little Egret was standing in shallow water as I walked back to Church Farm Holiday Park


A Curlew was wandering around the marshy land

Great  Crested Grebe swimming on the lagoon at the edge of the holiday park


Later in the day, at the beginning of sunset, I wandered along to the edge of the nature reserve
