Carlton Marsh

On the wader scrape this morning 2 Redshanks and 5 Mute Swans (4 immatures) + 4 north (K Bannister/J Plant).
This evening our first Whitethroat of the year was singing. (D. Standish)

Cudworth Common
On Les Corrall's exercise walk there were 2 House Martins, 5 + 2 Linnets and a Buzzard taking off with a small Grass Snake. A Pair of Ringed Plover were in the Symphony Compound.

On my walk this evening a pair of Red-legged and a pair of Grey Partridges, 2 Redshanks and 3 Snipe. A Canada Goose was on eggs. There were at least 4 Pipistrelles flying at dusk

Ferrymoor Flash (Sash Pond)
A pair of Great Crested Grebes (I dont think I have seen any on here before) and 30+ Pied Wagtails looked as if they were going to roost on the fallen Crack Willows in the middle. More were arriving as I left.

A Holly Blue butterfly was in Dave Smith's Carlton garden this afternoon.
