Sutton Bingham - Wed 5 Oct

A little over an hour spent at the reservoir this afternoon with the intention of finding a Yellow-browed Warbler...but I failed miserably. It was a pretty windy afternoon so I saw very little in the way of small birds, with just a couple of Chiffchaffs noted around West Pool and the car park.
The area around the dam hosted at least three White Wagtails as well as four Meadow Pipits and a single Little Egret was on the dam. A couple of Nuthatches were feeding on the peanuts that the warden had put out and two Linnets were also noted.
I then set off for the southern end of the reservoir where a single Green Sandpiper was still present.

A Common Sandpiper was also seen and duck numbers had remained pretty constant. The female/first-winter Pintail was still in with the Mallard flock and twenty-eight Teal plus twenty Wigeon were counted.
