A very quick visit at lunchtime today to twitch a Pochard, a species that is increasingly rare at Sutton Bingham these days. Found by Pete mid-morning it did the decent thing and stayed for the rest of the day meaning I got to see it asleep when I arrived soon after 1pm.
I managed an equally brief visit later in the afternoon to take another look, and whilst the Pochard had moved onto the water it was still asleep! Worth it though as this was my first patch Pochard since 2024.
No time for a proper look around the reservoir today, which was a bit of a shame given it was dry, but very cold.
Sutton Bingham year list for 2026 now at 114 species.
