Appuldram at Low Water

We were welcomed on arrival at St Mary’s by the familiar song of the resident Thrush singing away and dominating the rest of the birdsong. In the Churchyard a few primroses were out making a splash of colour in the sunshine when very little else was in evidence. The Daffodils are still some way away […]

Bright and Sunny at East Head

The front with all the rain had passed through, a brisk wind was blowing from the North West, the sky was blue and the sun was out! Wonderful conditions for a walk along the beach at East head. The visibility was excellent with outstanding views over to Culver Down on the Isle of Wight for […]

Nutbourne

After some recent heavy rain it was good to find a break when we wanted to get out for a walk after going to Southbourne Farm shop for some Saville oranges. Along the path to the harbour songbirds were in good voice, especially several Thrushes that stood out both with their song and being clearly […]

Sunday Morning at Dell Quay

The dry weather was forecast to come to an end with the first of many bands of rain due to arrive at lunchtime; it was time to get out to Dell Quay early for the circular walk to the marina and back. We were greeted, on arrival, by the sound of two woodpeckers drumming on […]

Red Letter Day in Appludrum

This mornings walk got off to a good start as soon as I got out of the car and heard a veritable dawn chorus of birdsong, really lively! Lots of wildfowl about and plenty of variety but what was a little different was the number of Coots. There were at least 100 around the Lavant […]

Misty Lavant

The walk from Sheepwash lane up to the Rubbing House and back down Chalkpit lane should be good to hear some birdsong so in the early morning mist we set off. It would be a welcome change from the mud of the harbour. The Lavant was in full flow, indeed as high as I’d seen […]

Dog Walkers at Hunters Race

Signs of Spring At Appludram

Another bright but chilly morning, such a pleasant change from the wet and relatively warm weather we’d endured for so long. Appludram was the choice this morning with a relatively high tide for a change, as the moon made it’s steady progress. The sun seemed to have brought out the snowdrops in the churchyard, they’d […]

A Quiet Time at Chidham

High pressure was now firmly in charge so it’s clear blue skies but with out any clouds to keep the warmth in, there had been a hard frost. The grass scrunched as we walked out from the church at Chidham towards the bomb hole and the harbour. The patches of water left by the storms […]

Social Gatherings at Copperas

Last night’s storm was intense but had cleared away leaving us in the cold sector – sunshine and showers in a keen breeze. As luck would have it the rain was torrential when we left but, miraculously, it cleared up the moment we arrived at Dell Quay. The rain had aggravated the flooding so the […]
