Sutton Bingham - Thu 6 Feb

I made a mad rush to the reservoir yesterday lunchtime to "twitch" a couple of Mute Swans, which I manged to successfully do, and having missed two previous sightings of what is a fairly difficult bird to see at Sutton Bingham these days, it was a welcome addition to the year list.

This afternoon I spent a good two or so hours on the patch and surprisingly the Mute Swans were still present, and rather more obliging than they were yesterday and they patrolled the southern end of the reservoir.

Also at the southern end there were twenty-eight Wigeon and a lone drake Tufted Duck. Despite a real slog around the site, I failed to add anything to the year list and to be honest, there isn't much more to report.

Sutton Bingham year list now at 68 species.
