Another rainy day, but I still managed some time at the reservoir this afternoon but it was pretty quiet. A small flock of nine Lapwing were near the Fishing Lodge for a while, before being flushed by one of the Sailing Club support boats.
Wildfowl were very much absent, with just a single pair of Wigeon present and little. A Great White Egret was on West Pool and a second bird was at the southern end of the reservoir. A notable flock of thirty-nine Collared Doves was counted near the entrance to the Fishing Lodge.
The highlight of this afternoon's visit though was a Woodcock, flushed from a private area of the site. Having not seen one for a couple of years, it was a welcome addition to the year list.
Sutton Bingham year list now at 59 species.
