Sutton Bingham - Sat 7 Apr

A late morning visit on the way back from a trip in to Yeovil produced a patch mega in the form of a Brambling, feeding in the muddy field just south of the entrance to the Fishing Lodge in the company of half a dozen Meadow Pipits.

I've heard a couple of Brambling at Sutton Bingham, but never seen one so this was almost as good as a patch tick, and one of my favourite birds to boot. This same field has now produced Little Gull, Little Ringed Plover and Brambling this year...wow!
A singing Linnet was new for the year list also, but other than a "new" Blackcap and a single Swallow it was pretty quiet.
Sutton Bingham year list 2018 now at 88 species.
