I managed about thirty minutes at the reservoir this morning before work, and it proved to be worth the stop with my first Whitethroat of the year in song in scrub along the railway embankment and the edge of West Pool.
Twelve Common Sandpipers were noted from the northern causeway, with another three on the southern causeway.
Another patch year tick in the form of a singing Reed Warbler in waterside vegetation near the site of the old hide.
Overhead a total of three Ravens were noted. Not a bad start to the day.
Sutton Bingham year list for 2016 now at 88 species.
NB: A quick stop off at the reservoir late afternoon produced a first-summer Great Black-backed Gull.
