Sutton Bingham - Thu 3 Mar

An afternoon visit failed to deliver the Coot that Barrie Widden found yesterday, another one day bird at Sutton Bingham! A Chiffchaff was on the edge of West Pool and appeared to be  migrant rather than an over-wintering bird judging by the fact it was constantly feeding. In the field opposite the Canoe Club there were two Stonechats whilst on the water the only gulls of note today were two adult Great Black-backed Gulls. There were still over one hundred Wigeon present, though numbers do seem to be dropping.
