Sutton Bingham - Tue 9 Aug

Despite a search of the shoreline the Spotted Sandpiper has been favouring I drew a blank today. A Shelduck was on the northern causeway and is presumably the same bird that was present at the southern end on Sunday. I even managed a photo of it that is recognisable as being a Shelduck!
A look around the southern end of the reservoir produced a single Kingfisher and two Common Sandpipers, one opposite the "hide" and a second near the car park. A Reed Warbler was seen with a juvenile bird in tow. Up near Hyde Farm it was good to see a family of Willow Warblers, the young birds look so bright this time of year.
A brief stop late afternoon produced two Great Black-backed Gulls on West Pool but I was unable to find anything else of note.
