Sutton Bingham - Sun 8 Sep

Two Whinchat were present this afternoon at the southern end, between the entrance gate and sleeper bridge, the same area as the bird that was present a week or so ago, and it's possible that one of today's birds had been lingering in the area for that whole time. Somewhat more obliging today, I managed to get some identifiable photos!

The only other birds of note were three Common Sandpipers at the southern end and another on West Pool and a Green Sandpiper at Cotton Bridge. However, just as I was leaving the patch I had another quick check of West Pool and found a Little Grebe, my first of the year! It seems to have been an age since the last addition to the patch year list.
