Carlton Marsh

After the deluge last night the dike breached again engulfing the marsh. As we have no way of releasing the flood water any chance of getting any waders has gone.

This morning Kingfisher 2, Buzzard 1, House Martins 80, Little Owl 2, Yellow Wagtail 1 south and a pair of Water Rails were feeding 3 young, with good views for 15 minutes. (Jim Plant)

Insects included a late Ringlet, Painted Lady and a Brown Argus. (Chris Parkin)
