Carlton Marsh

The wader scrape is almost dry that's why the Grey Herons are predating on what fish etc. is left to catch. There are a few Teal as well. 

This afternoon at 17.51hrs a juvenile Peregrine chased a Kestrel over the hillside (Simon Cox). 

Geoff Carr reliably informs me that this is almost certainly one of the 3 that were ringed at Ardagh Glassworks this spring. They are fitted with a B.T.O. ring on the right leg and an Orange ring on the left leg. Certainly ones to watch for now that they are fully fledged.
