Carlton Marsh

As soon as I left the car I was on to a warbler and as soon as you could say warbler it was gone. Stood around for 10 minutes no luck. But did manage to put to flight a single SNIPE from cow pat encrusted field. Had a good view of a single male STONECHAT who had taken to alighting on a field gate post. Other stuff about: JAY, KESTREL, GREY HERON, CHAFFINCH, GREENFINCH, GOLDFINCH, It is also good to identify BLACKBIRDS from the Continent which have larger and darker bills.
