Sutton Bingham - Thu 9 Jul

Another very quick visit today on my way home from work and I simply spent a few minutes scanning the area from the car whilst parked on the northern causeway. I wasn't expecting anything to be honest, so it was a real surprise when I suddenly noticed two Redshank on the causeway about fifty metres from the car. A July patch year tick! Just as I got the 'scope set up ready for an attempted photo they suddenly took flight and after a brief circuit headed off south down the reservoir and were lost to view. Having missed a fly-over Redshank last month and a single brief bird last year, it was nice to connect with one.
