This morning saw the return of Cetti's Warbler after an absence of 2 years. A male sang briefly before first light and subsequently more strongly from 3 different locations in the marsh up until 09.00hrs. Male and female Tawny Owl also called before dawn. Water Rails called from 3 sites and 6 Redpoll and a Siskin were roaming around. Redwings moving west included 2+20+20+5. (CG)
Meanwhile (JP) was on the top field on the east side of the reserve and saw c100 Fieldfare and c200 Redwing moving north. 10 Skylarks and 6 Meadow Pipits were down on the field of stubble.
On his way home (JP) found a Tree Sparrow in a hedegerow on the Royston Road, Cudworth allotments. This is scarce bird in these parts, the last record for nearby Carlton Marsh was on 25/9/10.
