Sutton Bingham - Wed 4 Nov

I spent a bit of time this afternoon walking from the Canoe Club to the car park and back, checking what was about and also taking a look at West pool. The male and female Stonechat were again present on the fence line to the south of West Pool and three Snipe were resting in the vegetation on the edge of the pool itself. A couple of Little Grebes were also on West Pool, but keeping pretty well hidden most of the time. The field between the Canoe Club and car park held three Meadow Pipits and another Stonechat was in this area, another female-type bird, and a Snipe was flushed from the water's edge. There were loads of Redwing present this afternoon, well over a hundred birds, and a much smaller number of Fieldfare were also noted and singles of Mistle Thrush and Song Thrush were also seen. As time wore on the gull numbers started to increase, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary amongst those gathered.
