Wildlife with Hugh

A beautiful spring morning in the South Downs with abundant bird life and wildflowers.

A walk at Kingley Vale in late February had many signs of spring developing, while winter was still trying to hold on.

Chichester Marina is a fantastic place for a walk in the autumn months, with a mixture of beautiful scenery, diverse habitats and a wide range of bird species to be seen.

A midsummer walk in a wooded area of the South Downs produced a bountiful array of birds, butterflies and wildflowers.

It was a day of Jersey tiger moths around Chichester Harbour. During a morning walk at Thorney Island one of these delightful moths flew in front of us and landed up nicely in the rough hedge.

Dartford warblers are always a delight to see. These small birds, with rich colours and a distinctively long tail, are one of a number of specialist species that can be found in suitable heathland habitats.

On a fine spring day at Amberley Wildbrooks we were treated to some memorable sightings.
