A nice surprise this afternoon when I found an Otter at the southern end of the reservoir. I was wondering why the Wigeon flock, of which there were sixty-four birds present today, was so jumpy, and when the Otter popped up that explained it. Unfortunately it was rather distant and only showed a couple of times. This is the fourth time I've seen at Otter at Sutton Bingham, it still remains an elusive species to see here.
On the bird front there was not much to report this weekend. A drake Tufted Duck was present at the southern end and four Meadow Pipits were near the Canoe Club. A nice count of over one hundred Common Gulls was pretty impressive, and a single Mediterranean Gull was also noted.
