Sutton Bingham - Sun 11 Apr

My usual Sunday morning visit produced the first singing Blackcap of the Spring. At the southern end, a male Reed Bunting was in song near the location I had seen a female earlier in the month. Also at the southern end of the reservoir, six Teal were present and a pair of Mallard have successfully hatched about six or so ducklings. A Skylark could be heard singing distantly.
On West Pool the Tufted Duck were still present, with thirteen birds counted along with the pair of Pochard. Six Lesser Black-backed Gulls were also on West Pool. Three House Martins were feeding high above West Pool.
