Sutton Bingham - Mon 18 Apr

I managed a few minutes at Sutton Bingham this morning before work, stopping on the northern causeway for a quick scan. Not much about although four Common Sandpipers were present. However, I did locate a very nice Northern Willow Warbler (ssp. acredula) feeding in scrub in the corner of West Pool. The bird showed down to a few feet as I stood next to the fence and was a real beauty looking like a completely washed out and greyish version of the "normal" Willow Warbler we are more familiar with. This was a new sub-species for me at Sutton Bingham.
A brief stop on my way home tonight produced three Tufted Ducks (2 drakes and 1 duck) on West Pool.
