Carlton Marsh.

Walk through and along wall back, started dull but hot on return.

On arrival SWALLOWS flying around first scrape with 10 birds in all. HOUSE SPARROWS on feeder and   2  YELLOWHAMMER on wires next to railway line. At scrape a single RUFF and 106 LAPWING. Several KESTREL about which numbered six. With two LITTLE EGERET, but the best was the sound of two BEARDED TIT pinking in reeds at the wall, also along the track a very courageous CETT'S WARBLER who put an unusually good show. CHIFFCHAFF was at 5 with all birds viewable. Just one COMMON BUZZARD calling and moving towards the West. BLUE TIT, LONG TAILED TIT, GREAT TIT. MEADOW PIPIT, PIED WAG, TEAL, GADWALL, MUTE SWAN, MALLARD, STARLING, CROW, and an odd JACKDAW that must have been separated from its clan as it was incessantly calling.
Home:  Flyover this evening saw 9 PIED WAGTAIL heading West and a single HERON on its way South calling as it went.
Cuccumber Lane, Beccles.  200 HOUSE MARTIN searching for food.
