Photographs from Argus camera club member Glynn Rubidge show a hole host of birds enjoying the winter sun and snowdrops on the embankment of the River Adur.
A chiff chaff, greenshank and a curlew, who looked as if it was admiring its reflection in the water, could be seen basking underneath the sun’s rays.
There were lots of snowdrops to admire too.
The flowers are considered to be one of the first signs of spring and signify new beginnings.
The Woodland Trust states the hardy plant, while not native to UK shores, has become a familiar indicator of the shifting seasons and a “sure sign that warmer weather is on its way”.
“They are not native to the UK, although it’s unclear when they were introduced,” the trust said.
The wintry sunny day captured in the photographs is in stark contrast to current conditions, with the county being hit by heavy rain and “gusty” winds.
A weather warning for rain is in place until Monday morning when a new warning for wind will take effect until Tuesday morning.
