Sutton Bingham - Sun 9 Oct

A morning trip to the reservoir was pretty pointless, with just a Common Sandpiper on West Pool and my first autumn Redwing being all I had to show for just under an hour on site.
A brief stop at the dam late afternoon was much more productive and yielded the first Common Gull of the winter (a nice adult bird) and three first-winter Mediterranean Gulls. The horse paddock was packed with birds but time was against me so I couldn't spend as much time scanning through everything as I would have liked. However, I did locate a Reed Bunting and there were a few White Wagtails and Meadow Pipits about. A single Linnet was on the dam wall.
