I stopped off at Sutton Bingham on my way home from Weymouth and had a pretty productive hour or so at the reservoir. The northern end failed to produce much more than a couple of Sand Martins and a Great Black-backed Gull but the southern end held a bit more of interest.
Walking out around Cotton Bridge I finally added Marsh Tit to the patch year list, with one bird showing well. A total of twenty-five Snipe were flushed form the flooded meadow and a pair of Mandarin were also seen. A Peregrine was soaring above the area for a good time, whilst on the water eleven Wigeon and twenty-five Teal were still present, though I expect these will be moving off any day soon.
