An hour on site before 8.00am turned out to be a really good decision as a mad couple of minutes produced a fly-over Tree Pipit which passed over the northern causeway, closely followed a few minutes later by a female-type Garganey that flew from the north-eastern corner down towards the southern end of the reservoir...two patch year ticks in almost as many minutes!
A "new" Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler were in vegetation on the edge of West Pool and the three adult Great Black-backed Gulls were present. Three Common Sandpipers were noted with a couple of Little Egrets also hanging around. The Shelduck was on the northern causeway again and seems to be becoming rather tame!
Sutton Bingham year list 2016 now at 107 species.
