A few visits over the past week and to be honest not a lot has been seen, certainly nothing to warrant a blog post, but the few bits and pieces that have been present have included a Coot present yesterday and a Green Sandpiper the day before.
However, today was a little different as my first passerine of the Autumn turned up in the form of a Wheatear present on the dam wall in the morning.

I returned after work as Ash had seen four Cattle Egret together mid-morning. Amazingly they were still present in a private area of the reservoir in the evening, this is my highest single count of Cattle Egret at Sutton Bingham.
A quick look at the southern end produced a few Common Sandpipers but then a real surprise as a juvenile Goshawk flew down the arm and vanished in to trees on the far side of the reservoir. So some pretty good birds today after a very quiet start to the month, shame none of them were new for the year though.
