My first trip of the year to Sutton Bingham Reservoir and there were a few birds of note about. From the northern causeway there was nothing much of note, although Coot numbers were at a pretty high twenty-four birds.
I spent the next forty or so minutes taking a walk around the southern end of the reservoir. I flushed a Snipe from the water's edge and overhead a couple of Skylarks flew over. Wildfowl consisted of a flock of forty or so Wigeon, twenty Teal, four drake Pochard and two drake Tufted Ducks.
There were two Peregrines on one of the pylons and a couple of Great Spotted Woodpeckers were also present. A single Common Gull flew north.
