Sutton Bingham - Wed 5 Jul

A morning visit before work turned out to be quite productive, though all the action was from the Fishing Lodge as the southern end of the reservoir and northern causeway failed to yield anything of note.
A couple of Common Sandpipers were present and an adult Mandarin was seen with two juvenile birds. A single adult Great Black-backed Gull was still present and a couple of Little Egrets were noted. Finally, a Kingfisher was near the dam.
A brief stop on the way back from work produced the first juvenile Black-headed Gull of the year.

One of this morning's Common Sandpipers was also present near the northern causeway.
