Sutton Bingham - Mon 15 Aug

A pre-work stop was worthwhile as Pete messaged me to say he had found a Sedge Warbler, a bird he knew I needed for the year. Fortunately he helped me stake it out and after a thirty minute search it finally gave itself up and afforded excellent views.
Ten Teal were at the southern end with a single Green Sandpiper and eight Common Sandpipers plus a Snipe was seen in flight. Yesterday's Wood Sandpiper was still on West Pool.
A return lunchtime trip produced two Whinchat south of Cotton Bridge, another great find by Pete.
Two Wood Sandpipers were present on opposite sides of the northern causeway (I missed the second one earlier in the day) and a couple of Green Sandpipers were seen. what appears to be a "new" Ringed Plover was seen flying in by Ash mid-morning and was still at there during my visit.
So another profitable day today and another two additions to the year list, thanks to Pete's help.
Sutton Bingham patch list for 2022 now at 113 species.
