I had a day off work today and popped up to the reservoir mid-morning to see if there was anything about. The pick of the birds was a smashing male Wheatear on the dam wall, a much welcome addition to the patch year list. Also in this area a small flock of nine Linnets. A total of four Common Sandpipers were also seen this morning and there were good numbers of Swallows and Sand Martins present.
A return visit in the evening failed to produce an Osprey that was seen about thirty minutes before I could there, it was last seen flying north over Yeovil. This is the fourth Osprey this Spring to have passed through, though I've only had one of them!
Sutton Bingham year list for 2021 now at 83 species.
