Sutton Bingham - Wed 26 Oct

Well the rising water levels were not so high that a Lapwing was put off with a single bird settling at the southern end early in the morning. A couple of Stonechats were also seen but that was it during a quick visit before work, so imagine my surprise when a message came through on the WhatsApp group from Ash that a Grey Phalarope was present! Fortunately, I was able to take an early lunch and arrived on site and was rewarded with some excellent views of a patch lifer!

The Grey Phalarope fed constantly during the half an hour I was on site and was still showing until 2pm, but visits later in the day failed to relocate it, so I really got lucky with this one.
