A little over an hour spent at the reservoir before work today paid dividends with the undoubted highlight being a fly-through female Merlin! Coming from nowhere it whizzed past me low across the meadow south of the Canoe Club before crossing the road and heading purposefully north.
Little Egrets were still evident, with at least eight being present. A pair of Teal were spooked from the water's edge, as was a single Snipe. Still nothing in the way of migrants other than a few "new" Chiffchaffs. Robins seemed to be everywhere though, with ten or more being seen/heard.
A return visit on my way home from work produced the first Common Sandpiper of the year!
Sutton Bingham year list for 2015 now at 72 species.
