Carlton Marsh

Another beautiful day encouraging birds to move. During the first hour of daylight 22 Redwing flew west, 60 Starlings NW followed by 20 more NW and 141 (5 groups) of Wood Pigeon flew high SW. A Brambling called near the ringing rides and 2 Song Thrushes (1 ringed) were very flighty. Also present 15 Skylarks (on the fields), 2 Kingfisher, Goldcrest, Treecreeper, 3 Siskin, 2 Redpoll and 5 Bullfinch. Meanwhile 2 Cormorants, 3 Herring Gulls and 2 Common Gulls were on the wader scrape and a skein of Pink Feet were heard in the distance heading east.
