A quick afternoon trip out today and I made for Gore Hill in the hope that there may be a few migrants on the high ground. It was terribly windy and the odd spot of rain meant that viewing conditions were not ideal. That being said, I did pick out a pair of very good-looking Golden Plover in the middle of one large field. A couple of Skylarks flew up from the edge of another field and a small flock of seven Linnet flew over. As I returned to the car two Red-legged Partridge were seen and a Raven flew over.
A quick stop at Sutton Bingham on the way home produced the first Common Sandpiper of the year for the site (and for me), as it bobbed it's way along the northern causeway. The southern end of the reservoir was really quiet, with a pair of Teal and a Little Grebe the only birds seen.
