I was fortunate enough to finish work slightly early today so took advantage of the slightly lighter evenings and made a visit to Sutton Bingham Reservoir, arriving at about 4.20pm.
I took a quick drive to the southern end to see if anything was about, but could see nothing from the car so decided against pulling over and taking a more thorough look, instead I returned to the northern causeway to scan over West Pool and the main reservoir.
A look over West Pool produced five Tufted Ducks, five Wigeon and two Little Grebes, all of which were tucked up in the vegetation roosting.
On the main reservoir, there were was a flock of another thirty-five Wigeon between the Sailing Club and the dam. A dozen Great Crested Grebes were also present.
Large numbers of gulls were coming in to bathe before heading off to roost, primarily Herring and Black-headed Gulls, but I did pick out single Common and Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
An apparent Continental Cormorant of the Sinensis race flew over heading south.
