Sutton Bingham - Wed 6 Jul

I managed about quarter of an hour on site before work this morning and the Great Black-backed Gull was again on West Pool and a single Common Sandpiper was on the northern causeway. A quick drive round to the Fishing Lodge and I heard a Redshank (my second record of the year) calling and soon picked it up as it flew across the reservoir with a Common Sandpiper. A Little Egret was feeding on the dam and a bit more excitement when a Shelduck flew over, did a circuit and then headed south. So some quality birds in a very short period of time this morning...shame none of them were additions to the patch year list.
