Sutton Bingham - Fri 15 Apr

A typically brief pre-work stop at the northern causeway produced two Common Sandpipers. It's getting to the time of year when they should be almost daily for a week or two as they start passing through.
There was a bit of a surprise this morning though in the form of a Shelduck that was seen in flight before landing near the dam. Amazingly this is my third 2016 record (totalling five individuals) of this "less than annual" visitor, meaning I have seen more Shelduck at Sutton Bingham this year than I have over the last decade combined!
