Sutton Bingham - Mon 1 May

A visit yesterday morning in cold and windy conditions was pretty dismal with just nine Common Sandpipers providing interest...until a Whimbrel flew in from the south and passed up the reservoir heading north!
A good end to April and May got off to a moderate start with two Hobbies seen over the reservoir this afternoon. The only other birds of note were a single Little Egret, a Kingfisher and just one Common Sandpiper. A "new" Lesser Whitethroat was in song on the far side of the reservoir opposite the site of the hide.
Sutton Bingham year list 2017 now at 91 species.
