Cattle, birds and deer at a nature reserve have proved perfect photographic subjects.
Camera club snapper Sue Barnett visited Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve in Chichester, an internationally important wetland site.
The reserve contains saltmarsh and mudflats, lagoons, reedbeds, farmland and shingle beach and is home to a variety of wildlife.
It also features a number of trails, running past the old Sidlesham tramway and along the pebbly beach, with one branching off to the neighbouring reserve, Medmerry.
In summer, a tern colony thrives on the reserve’s Tern Island, where common, sandwich and little terns nest.
Herds of dark-bellied Brent geese and wigeon also pass overhead in the winter to graze on nearby fields.
Sue captured some stunning shots of the thriving life that resides there, including a range of birds.
One picture shows two grebe chicks, aquatic diving birds, asleep on the water under the watchful eye of an adult.
The UK population of grebes was almost wiped out in the UK as they were once hunted for their decorative feathers.
Other birds were also snapped by Sue, including a goldfinch perched on thistles.
Sue also spotted a friendly encounter between a cow and a trio of cattle egrets, a member of the heron family often associated with livestock.
Sue’s keen lens even caught a roe deer darting through the long grass.
