Carlton Marsh

It was obvious that an influx of birds had arrived with the colder weather. This morning 46 Fieldfares, 22 Redwings, 18 Siskins and 25 Goldfinches were feeding in the trees. 

A Great Crested Grebe and a Kingfisher were on Bleachcroft Farm Pond (Chris Parkin).

This afternoon 3 Cormorants, 25 Teal and 27 Canada geese were on the wader scrape.

Feeding in the Silver birch trees were c60 Lesser Redpolls. On checking the database, they equalled the all time maximums of 13th of November 2010 and 18th of December 2012!

3 Water Rails called from the main marsh along with a singing Cetti's Warbler (CG).
