Sutton Bingham - Wed 7 Apr

A flying visit prior to 8.00am produced two Common Sandpipers at the northern causeway and a good number of Sand Martins feeding over West Pool. A return visit late afternoon produced an additional two Common Sandpipers, one near the Sailing Club and another on the southern causeway.
The Tufted Ducks present on West Pool yesterday had been joined by a male Pochard.
In the afternoon a pair of Kestrels were seen near the unused Osprey Nesting Platform and a male Mandarin flew south past the hide.
The only bird of note at the southern end of the reservoir was a Jay. This claw, presumably from a Crayfish of some sort, was at the water's edge.
