Sutton Bingham - Sun 21 Mar

An early evening visit failed to produce anything major, and the gull numbers were well down on recent evenings. There were about one hundred Herring Gulls and twenty or so Lesser Black-backed Gulls present, the "white" gull seen last week has not been seen again.
On West Pool there were still just under thirty Wigeon and eight Tufted Ducks. A single Little Grebe was also on West Pool with another two on the main reservoir.
At the southern end of the reservoir a drake Mandarin was seen in the dense vegetation along with three Teal. A Chiffchaff was in full song, presumably a recently arrived migrant. Finally, a total of thirty-three Snipe were flushed from the waters edge as I walked along.
