Carlton Marsh.

Rather dull with light wind increasing.

Well after all my visits I at last gained a good sight of a MEADOW PIPIT but the best thing of all was it was feeding young although my pic shows it on its returning journey. Viewed six REED BUNTING all male, most of them just chasing each other about. The other bird which was only the second one for the year, which was a HOBBY, seen hawking over Spratt's Water. Just one LITTLE EGERET and three GREY HERON as well as a single DUNLIN which was an adult male bird. Also a single YELLOW WAGTAIL which was feeding around the scrape. With also four young LAPWING chicks. SEDGE, CETTI'S, REED, WARB'S and COMMON WHITETHROAT. Also a single male MARSH HARRIER hunting on far West of land. Also my first PAINTED LADY butterfly as well as GREEN VEINED WHITE.
