Sutton Bingham - Wed 1 Aug

I took the day off work today as Ellie had a few things she needed to sort out, so I was on Tristan duty all morning. We started off with a trip up to Sutton Bingham to see if anything was about. We stayed at the northern end of the reservoir and took a walk around the car park area where a mixed feeding flock contained several Chiffchaffs amongst the commoner tits. A Song Thrush was looking after two recently fledged juveniles, and a juvenile Goldcrest was also seen.
Out on the water I saw three Common Terns feeding off the dam, but there was nothing else out of the ordinary. Four Swifts flew over heading south-east and that rounded up the birding action for the morning as it was time to take Tristan home for his lunch.
