Sutton Bingham - Mon 20 Feb

A couple of visits over the weekend failed to produce too much in the way of decent birds, but an adult Great Black-backed Gull was present on Saturday morning, with a pair on the main reservoir on Sunday morning. The Peregrine was again seen at the southern end, but there have been very few duck over the last week, just a drake Tufted Duck seen on Saturday.
Back to today though and a drake Gadwall was seen early morning from the northern causeway, again very jumpy it took flight and settled briefly on West Pool, no idea whether this is the same bird that was present earlier in the month. I managed a quick shot as it took flight!

A late afternoon visit produced a count of at least fifteen hundred Black-headed Gulls.
