Carlton Marsh

A single Redpoll over the car park was new for this year. An adult Lesser BB Gull was on the scrape.

Dave Standish's perseverance paid off tonight when the elusive Bittern showed briefly at 17.20hrs from the hide. 

Last seen on 28th January, we have always thought that it could still be here. This one has been very elusive right from the start, but after Dave was pretty sure it was in the reeds on the previous two nights, he proved it beyond doubt tonight with the aid of his night scope, and through his binoculars when it flapped its wings 3 times.
