Join our enthusiastic and friendly team of guides at the RSPB's Pagham Harbour Reserve walking towards Church Norton from the Pagham Visitor Centre. The months of August and September are a great time of year to see migratory species passing through. Lots of birds are on their way to Africa for the winter, and after a long busy summer working hard to build nests and raise young in different parts of the UK and Northern Europe, they often need to take a break along their migration route - so this is a great time to spot them here on our reserves! Sand Martins, Swallows and House Martins. Wheatears, Flycatchers, Whinchat, Yellow Wagtails, Yellowhammers, even a passing Osprey is not impossible. Waders such as Curlew will be arriving or passing through.
