Sutton Bingham - Sat 5 May

It's been a very slow start to May, with a drake Tufted Duck present on West Pool yesterday and a couple of sub-adult Mute Swans which spent a few days also on West Pool. I did manage to add something to the year list today during a brief early afternoon stop on my way home from work with a nice, albeit distant, male Kestrel over the north-eastern end of the reservoir. Also today, my second Red Kite of the year with a rather ragged looking individual viewed from Hyde Farm.
