Carlton Marsh

A Little Egret roosted again tonight, it was in by 21.10hrs. after spending all day on the new wader scrape. It was accompanied by 60 Lapwings and a Green Sandpiper came in this evening. A Buzzard spent most of the day overseeing all this from its usual tree perch.
As the light began to fade about 100 Swallows came to roost in Typha and Phragmites at the southern end of the original scrape.
You can't fail to see or hear a Kingfisher on every visit now, these two were on show today.
