Sutton Bingham - Wed 17 Jul

Another day and another wader, this time a very smart summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwit that was on the northern causeway.
Not a new bird for the year, but nice to see nonetheless. As of late there was nothing else of note this morning and the very high water levels don't bode well for anything much over the coming months in relation to decent wader passage.
A return visit early in the evening was rather more productive than recent visits. The Black-tailed Godwit was still present and a Coot was present albeit a rather elusive individual. My first juvenile Yellow-legged Gull amongst the gull flock on the northern causeway and juvenile Mediterranean Gull fly over heading west. All in all a decent day on the patch today, and that made for a refreshing change.
