Sutton Bingham - Thu 1 Sep

Another day and a few more bits and pieces of interest during a quick stop prior to work today. Scanning the mud at the southern end it was pretty much the same as yesterday with seven Common Sandpipers and a single Green Sandpiper present and a single Mandarin was also noted.
Just before 8.00am the Osprey flew in from the south again, at exactly the same time of day as it had yesterday morning. I even managed a typically excellent record shot!
A sub-adult Great Black-backed Gull also flew in from the south. A couple of Little Egrets were still present, as was the ling-staying Shelduck. The final bit of excitement was a flock a fifteen Raven that flew over, a patch record count for me by a long way.
