Windy morning at Pagham beach and some wildlife in the afternoon during my last day in Pagham - 28th March 2024

While I was walking along Pagham beach in the wind photographing some of the houses, windsurfers were out on the water



After I had been on the beach for a while it started raining so I went back to the mobile home.  Later in the day I went for a last walk near Pagham Harbour nature reserve.  

I found a Green Woodpecker in a field near the reserve.

A light-coloured horse looked a little lonely


The only wildlife braving the wind at the nature reserve was a Little Egret

 The next day it was goodbye to Pagham and back home.  I had spent a very enjoyable week there despite the rain and the wind!

Railway carriage houses at the edge of Pagham beach - 28th March 2024

It was very windy on my last day in Pagham at the end of March and I knew that birdwatching would be very difficult.  Instead I went for a walk near Pagham beach in order to try and find some of the houses that started off life as railway carriages.  As time went by extensions were added to enlarge the houses, so they all began to look very different.  Below are some of the railway carriage houses overlooking the sea on the edge of Pagham beach.

There is a railway carriage on the side of this house


It was easy to tell that this house was descended from railway carriages


Another version of a house made up of two railway carriages

I think that this pretty house was originally from railway carriages, plus there is another one next door

This house with railway carriage windows was viewed from the road at the back of the beach
