Sutton Bingham - Thu 9 Apr

I've managed a few flying visits to the reservoir over the last few days, but not seen much in the way of birds and hardly anything with regard to Spring migrants. It was pretty much the same today, but I did get a good patch year tick in the form of a third-winter Great Black-backed Gull which was feeding on a fish carcass on the far back opposite the northern causeway in the afternoon. Great Black-backed Gull is not a species I ever guarantee seeing annually at Sutton Bingham, so a good bird to see.
Over the past couple of days a few Little Egrets have been seen, today that number rose to an impressive ten birds, all on the far bank between the car park and Canoe Club.
