Carlton Marsh

The overnight temperature in my garden was -2.3c and the maximum was -.9c at 15.00hrs, the coldest daytime temperature since 28/2/18.

The scrapes were completely iced over today and freezing fog was a problem. A few Herring and BH Gulls were on the wader scrape and a few Teal and gadwall.

An unknown number, (sounded like a lot though) of Pink Feet geese flew west in the fog over the wader scrape at around 12.40hrs. Perhaps they were above the fog level?

A Willow Tit visited the feeder with a Coal Tit and a Jay.

Beech Avenue, Cudworth
Geoff Miller's garden is about half a mile east of the reserve. The cold weather saw 30 Blackbirds, 6 Fieldfare's and a Mistle Thrush, feeding on fallen apples.
