Dist:0.2km<br/>I took [[1501932]] from this spot to quickly capture the view of the bird flying over the river. This is a more composed shot of the Arun from the same location, engaged in its vast but surprisingly consistent right-angled meanders, each straight section of about five hundred to a thousand metres being followed by a sharp turn, making the river appear as a series of large "S" shapes on the map.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The little egret is a small white heron with white plumage, black legs and bill and yellow feet. It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred here in 1996. According to the RSPB web site there are currently about 150 breeding pairs in the country.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This curiosity is tucked away on the board walk in the reed beds of the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust http://www.wwt.org.uk. Optical enchantments like this are rare in these days of instant electronic imaging so a few minutes of waiting for your eyes to adjust to the low light levels are repaid with a view into a magical "other world".

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the tidal River Arun viewed looking upstream from the point where it makes an approximate 90 degree turn to the east, one of several such pronounced changes of direction in its lowermost reaches. The extensive reed beds which obscured the view of the river in [[1508707]] are visible to the left here.
