The first pint of seafarers went down well and I was joined by my former RSPB and current WWT colleague for a couple of beers in Arundel. We scooted off to the Red Lion and enjoyed a couple of Dark Stars and something nice by Arundel brewery.

That was that. Always good to catch up with Dave - top man!
Friday started in mixed fashion, I fancied a change and dodged the full English and with unusual reserve selected eggs Benedict. A great surprise when it turned up garnished with cress. What's that all about? Tasty though...

A quick walk before visiting the reserve again was certainly productive. The first distraction was a gorgeous Sussex Spaniel down Mill Road.

A brief look at the local flooding and a dash around the side of Swanbourne Lake followed.

The lush insides of the 'hangar' adjacent to Swanbourne lake. I heard at least four Marsh Tits calling in there.
