Sutton Bingham - Thu 7 Jul

A couple of bits and pieces this morning with a juvenile Little Grebe off the northern causeway and a single Common Sandpiper. A return visit late afternoon produced three juvenile/female type Mandarin, so more successful breeding at the reservoir, and a Peregrine which flew through south. The Peregrine had several missing primaries on its left wing which looked distinctly like shotgun damage, but fortunately it did not appear to hamper the bird's flight too much.
