Carlton Marsh

Yesterday (15/2/25). After a thorough search for the Bittern we couldn't find it. However, during the morning 2 Ravens alighted on a large mound of earth at Lidster's recycling yard. They called repeatedly and were mobbed by several magpies before they left west (K. Bannister/N. Lunn).

The Bittern climbed the reeds at 16.15hrs in good light (far side reed bed from Elaine's seat using telescope) (Dave Standish).
 
Earlier 2m 1f Shoveler were new in, 25 Teal, Cormorant, 3 Mute Swans, 44 Canada geese, 6 Greylags, 15 Gadwall, 16 Tufted Duck, 2 Cetti's Warbler and 2 Water Rails.
