Sutton Bingham - Thu 7 Sep

Water levels are dropping but I fear it's too late for any real wader passage now, but here's hoping. A quick visit on Monday this week did turn up another brief Cattle Egret and a drake Gadwall but little else.
This afternoon a very quick visit in very hot conditions was unsurprisingly devoid of birds with just a single Common Sandpiper seen but two more Wheatears were on the dam wall briefly.
It's been a pretty amazing Autumn for Wheatears at Sutton Bingham this year, with a total of eleven being seen (of which I've seen nine), but there have been very few other passerine migrants.
