Greenfinch.
A flock of Greenfinches have been settled at the Rife for several weeks now. (March-April 2025).
Most sightings on the west side about half way down.
Skylark.
A large flock of Skylarks can be seen in the fields to the west of the Rife between the Ferring Country centre and East Preston (April 2025).
These ground nesting birds are difficult to spot when they have landed, but there is no mistaking them when in the air with their wonderful singing.
Heron.
This is a funny and fascinating four minute video of a Heron ‘playing’ with a stick.
This was February 2025 and I wonder if the bird was starting to think about nest building ?
Collard Dove.
A slightly confused Collard Dove. There are often a few of these wonderful birds to be seen at the southern end of the Rife.
