Carlton Marsh


Again bright but a certain chill in the air. Wind from the  South West.

Best bird was a Bullfinch which was at Spratt's Water. Was not the first for the year but defiantly the best looking bird being male. I also had a good view when I flushed a single SNIPE from of the track. 4 LITTLE EGRET, 50 LAPWING with a few around scrape and some on the low sandy soil ready to breed. 1 COMMON BUZZARD and ! female MARSH HARRIER. 4 CETTIS WARBLER and & REED BUNTING, 1 calling CHIFFCHAFF and 4 KESTREL. 1 SPARROW HAWK. with several SKYLARK singing well. I also had a few fly by LINNET and GOLDFINCH as well as CHAFFINCH.
