Sutton Bingham - Sun 5 Apr

A quick visit to the reservoir mid-morning failed to yield much in the way of spring migrants other than a single fly-through Swallow and a few "new" Chiffchaffs. The southern end of the reservoir provided a little interest with a pair of Mandarin being present, as were a pair of Teal. A sub-adult Peregrine whizzed through in an attempt to disturb potential prey, failed miserably and alighted on a pylon. Four Treecreepers spent a little time chasing each other through the trees. The only birds of note at the northern end of the reservoir were three drake Tufted Ducks.
