After what seemed like a wild goose chase of a journey(traffic accident blocking road) we arrived at Pulborough rather later than expected.
It was a wet and windy day today but we pressed on with the hope of seeing the resident Hen Harrier.

First stop was Netleys hide as the Harrier had been reported there earlier. We stayed there a good hour seeing various wildfowl including pintails, Wigeon, Teal, Shelduck, Mallard, Geese, Swan but no cigar on the Harrier.

As it was raining sideways the hides were the best place to be! The wind was howling through the windows making viewing quite ‘challenging’
