Ivy-covered oak and view to Ella Nore
Ivy-covered oak and view to Ella Nore
Looking past the bare branches of an oak kept green by its ivy mantling to the eastern end of Ella Nore at high tide. The sea was just overlapping parts of the Nore pushed by strong winds. The calmness the little inlet of the sea seen ahead, belied the turbulence in less sheltered areas on this very windy day.
Ella Nore

Ella Nore is a sand and shingle bank to the west of the village of West Wittering. It projects into the southernmost end of the Chichester Channel as it enters Stockers Lake, itself part of Chichester Harbour.
It is a short spit of land enclosing saltings, marsh and mud. The eastern tip of it is a nature conservation area where entry is not permitted so as to protect the nesting area of the numerous species of birds that thrive in this habitat.
The area is rich in wildlife with the mud providing rich pickings for sea and marshland birds such as gulls, ducks, geese and waders such as curlews; all of which can be heard and seen in this unspoilt location.
