Sutton Bingham - Sat 11 Jun

A lunchtime visit after work produced a bit of interest with a sub-adult (third calendar year) Great Black-backed Gull loitering on a buoy just south of the car park. A Hobby was seen soaring over the dam and at least half a dozen Swifts were also seen. It has been a much better year for Swifts at Sutton Bingham as I only saw two birds on the patch during 2015 but has observed several this year. I didn't see much else and frustratingly I found out on Saturday morning that I had missed a female Pochard which was present on 9 June!
