Carlton Marsh, SWT

Overcast after heavy rain and storm.

Carlton Marsh:  Walk out was only a short time but to see three CUCKOO flying and calling is very unusual. They seemed to circle the whole area from the scrape to Spratts and past the centre and Fisher Row and back again. Ending up with all birds on there own. A BARN OWL was viewable for short time and the other surprise was the fly through BARNACLE GOOSE. A single SHOVELORE was on the scrape as was MALLARD, REDSHANK, and some LAPWING which are growing fast.
MEADOW PIPIT 6 birds and two pairs. CETTIS WARBLER, SEDGE, REED, REED BUNTING and one GREY HERON.  Two COMMON BUZZARD were engaging each other in mid air conflict. I only had one SWALLOW, HOUSE MARTIN 3, SWIFT 1.
Asda:    Peri on perch and 8 SWIFT high in the air.
                                                  Cuc....oooooooo or something like that.
