Carlton Marsh

The Avocet, Common Sandpiper and 2 Oystercatchers were all still present on the wader scrape, the latter mated before leaving south at 19.15hrs (et al).

Also present 5 Teal, a pair of Shovelers, 2 Little Grebes, Red-legged Partridge and 3 Swallows.

A Buzzard flew over the wader scrape carrying a small prey item. 4 Cetti's Warblers sang.
