After dropping Ellie off at church I took Tristan along to Sutton Bingham Reservoir for an hour. We stopped on the northern causeway and I scanned West Pool. Five Wigeon and five Teal were present and a single Snipe scurried in to the undergrowth and vanished from sight.
I then drove down to the hide and had a bit of a walk. Some fifty Great Crested Grebes were on the water, several of which had paired up and were displaying to each other. There were also twenty-two Wigeon and three more Teal, with another three Teal off the Canoe Club. A lone drake Tufted Duck was the only other bird of note on the water.
As we returned to the car a Goldcrest was singing away in trees above our heads and a Siskin was calling as it flew over heading west.
