Join our enthusiastic and friendly team of guides for a walk from the Pagham RSPB Visitor Centre towards Church Norton. We will be on the lookout for our winter geese, ducks, and wader visitors. Familiar wildfowl and waders such as Wigeon, Teal, Godwit, Lapwing, Greenshank, Redshank, Grey Plovers and of course Brent Geese. With luck we may see a dash of blue from a Kingfisher, a secretive Water Rail, a hovering Kestrel or the majestic Marsh Harrier. Surveying the hedgerows and fields as we walk may reveal some smaller birds that call the area home for the winter season.
