Carlton Marsh

Spent the morning volunteering with Suffolk Wildlife. Windy but bright.

Had a good view of a male MARSH HARRIER over the reed bed adjacent to the centre. Bird decided to land so lost view. But the real thing of interest which in all my life I have never seen was a flock of seven GREY HERONS together. They flew in from the west and landed in a wet meadow near the centre which also had two swans in it. They gained shelter from the nearby hedge and just sat there in a long group. None where feeding and none took any notice of each other. When I first saw this I thought that it was a roving flock of cranes, but obviously not.
