Sutton Bingham - Mon 8 Aug

A visit before produced an adult, presumably the same long-staying individual, Great Black-backed Gull on West Pool. The Spotted Sandpiper was still present and showed well, if distantly, for the duration of my visit but in an area with no public access. I've been desperate to get at least a semi-decent record shot of the bird, but it keeps just that little bit too far away. This is the best I could manage:

If you look really closely you may just be able to make out that a) it is a bird, and b) it does have spots!
At least two Common Sandpipers were also present and two Little Egrets were still about.
