Carlton Marsh


The marsh is flooded like everywhere else - again!

Our resident breeding pair of Mute Swans left in early October then a new pair moved in.  The BTO has just informed me that ZZ6976 was ringed as a female of at least 3years old on 4/3/2009 at Doncaster, a movement of 23kms WNW.

Paired with  ZZ6801 which was ringed as a 2nd year bird (sex unknown) on 23/3/2008 at Rother Valley Country Park near Killamarsh a movement of 29kms NNW. Both birds were ringed by Sorby Breck Ringing Group.
