Another day and another trip to Sutton Bingham, this time I took a packed lunch and spent a couple of hours on site during the middle of the day. A quick look over West Pool on my down to the south of the reservoir produced just a single Common Sandpiper, though on my way home two hours later there were two Mandarin and a Green Sandpiper on West Pool.
Sat in front of the hide I noticed a drop in the number of Common Sandpipers present compared to recent days with just seven about. Another Green Sandpiper was seen and an unexpected highlight was the presence of a single Wood Sandpiper.
The long-staying Yellow-legged Gull was again about, as were two Little Egrets. A Kingfisher whizzed by skimming across the water's surface and a Little Grebe was also seen. Finally, a Raven was perched briefly on top of one of the pylons and the female Teal which I have seen on and off over the past few weeks again put in an appearance.
