Carlton Marsh

Bittern was seen during the day despite disturbance from essential management work and Little Egret was on the wader scrape first thing. A Red Kite flushed everything at 09.05hrs (Rod Heeley).
Persistence pays, a ringing session this afternoon provided a retrapped colour-ringed Willow Tit (green on left leg) which was fitted with a transmitter (Vivien Hartwell/CG).

A Coal Tit and a beautiful Jay were also ringed.

A Fox was hunting around the wader scrape at dusk.
