Carlton Marsh

A misty cold start to the day meant that catching was slow at first. Two nets produced 14 birds of quality. They were Yellow Bunting 1, Reed Bunting 2, Bullfinch 2, Blackcap 1, Reed Warbler 1 and Blackbird 2. Then it was  time to put the nets away and do some graft clearing scrub from around the hide.
In between times there were some flighty Song Thrushes and Blackbirds, Treecreeper, Coal Tit and a Water Rail calling.

A Little Egret flew over Geoff Miller's Cudworth garden SE at 10.40hrs. (His garden is half a mile east of the reserve)
