Carlton Marsh

The overnight temperature in my garden was -4.6c, the coldest night here since 16th of December 2022 (4.6c), but in the car park at dawn it was -7c. (K. Bannister)

Most of the open water was still iced over, but 5 Shovelers (3 drakes), 6 Canada Geese, 10 Teal, 107 B.H. Gulls, 2 Common Gulls and 2 Herring Gulls were stood on the ice.

A Water Rail called, a Goldrest was with a group of Long-tailed Tits and single Redwing and Song Thrush were present. (Richard Laverack/John Finch/CG).
