Sutton Bingham - Sat 24 Mar

This afternoon I just popped up to the reservoir for an hour or so and had a good walk around the southern end of the reservoir. Wildfowl were represented by sixteen Teal and a pair of Tufted Duck, and a Little Grebe was heard calling.
There was nothing much else on the water but I did see my first two SBR Chiffchaffs of the Spring. Three Bullfinches (one male and two females) were seen and a Kestrel put in a fleeting appearance. A single Snipe was flushed from the water's edge.
Overhead, five Meadow Pipits flew north and a flock of about three hundred Starlings also moved northwards.
The northern end of the reservoir produced absolutely nothing of note!
