Carlton Marsh & Cudworth Common

The water was largely frozen over again so most of the action came from the adjacent fields. 6 Fieldfares, 30 Redwings,4 Mistle Thrushes, 6 Greenfinches, 10 Meadow Pipits, 10 Linnets, 6 Lapwings and 5 Skylarks were feeding on arable and pasture.

On the reserve Kingfisher, Cetti's called, and a Sparrowhawk took out a Blackbird (JP/R. Laverack/K. Bannister).
