Sutton Bingham - Fri 2 Jun

A quick trip before work today produced a Common Tern off the dam (typically ropey record shots below!) and a single Little Egret.

It has been very quiet at the reservoir over the last couple of weeks, which is not that surprising as May and June tend to be slow months with regard to adding much to the year list. A small number of Black-headed Gulls and up to three Great Black-backed Gulls have been present and a pair of Raven were noted yesterday.
A return visit after work failed to produce the Common Tern that was present this morning, but from the northern causeway I 'scoped two Red Kites as they drifted north over the back of the Fishing Lodge, these are my 3rd and 4th records of Red Kite at Sutton Bingham and my first for several years.
Sutton Bingham year list 2017 now at 95 species.
