The snow gradually melted over the morning so I was able to get the car up to Sutton Bingham this afternoon. A quick stop at the northern causeway produced a Lapwing and on West Pool yesterday's drake Pintail was still present whilst he drake Shoveler had been joined by another bird. A single Snipe was seen and four Teal were noted.
I then headed down to the southern end of the reservoir where a total of seventy-four Teal were resting on the ice that was covering part of the reservoir. A couple of Kingfishers were seed as was a single Reed Bunting. A lone Meadow Pipit was feeding on the water's edge along with a Grey Wagtail.
Back then to the Fishing Lodge and a check of the gathering gulls. Much quieter today with an adult Mediterranean Gull proving the only bit of interest on the larid front. The Wigeon flock had increased to ninety-three individuals whilst forty Canada Geese were also present.
