A lovely warm spring day and a visit to Sutton Bingham Reservoir was a good start to the day.
West Pool still held the wintering flock of Wigeon, with forty-seven birds still present. There were also sixteen Tufted Ducks on West Pool and a pair of Teal.
At the extreme southern end of the reservoir there were plenty of birds around, though not as many wildfowl, with just five more Teal present. Four Snipe were flushed from the waterside and a single Grey Heron was seen.
There were plenty of smaller birds around with several in song. A pair of Bullfinches were seen and a Nuthatch was perched atop a tree calling. A single Marsh Tit was also seen and a Jay was making a fair amount of noise. Three Stock Doves flew over with a couple of Woodpigeons.
Rapters were taking advantage of the clear day, with five Common Buzzards and two Sparrowhawks soaring overhead, and a male Kestrel was also about.
I also saw four Roe Deer.
