Sutton Bingham - Thu 30 Sep

Since the weekend I've dropped in to the reservoir a few times and it's been pretty much the same with regards to the birds present each time I've been on site. The Great White Egret has been a permanent fixture on West Pool and was still present today whilst at the southern end a couple of Green Sandpipers have been about as well as a Common Sandpiper. Teal numbers have been creeping up with thirteen on site today and Wigeon have increased to seven birds. Three Snipe were seen earlier in the week and a single Little Grebe was off the northern causeway, but in dreadful weather neither species were seen today.

Let's see what October brings, but with the site being closed whilst work is undertaken in and around the car park until the New Year, it could prove to be difficult adding much more to the year list...but let's hope not!
