A second calendar year Great Black-backed Gull and an adult summer Black-headed Gull were new in and there were good numbers of hirundines feeding over the water. Finally, four Common Sandpipers were present on the southern causeway.

Sutton Bingham - Sun 29 Apr
A very busy weekend but I finally managed to get out for just over an hour this afternoon and boy was it chilly! With a fairly strong wind as well as the cold temperature and overcast skies it was more like February than the tail end of April and as a result there were very few birds about. On the water Great Crested Grebes numbered at least seventy birds, a really good count so hopefully this year will be a good breeding season after the poor results last year.

Lets hope the weather improves when we hit May and a few scarcer migrants turn up on patch!
