Carlton Marsh

A Little Ringed Plover, 1 pair of Teal and 28 Herring Gulls were on the wader scrape this morning. Another Sedge Warbler and another Whitethroat arrived over night, a Great Spotted Woodpecker was 'drumming' and a Kingfisher showed.

This afternoon a Red Kite flew south at 15.12hrs (Dave Smith/Geoff Miller) and was seen by 'Young Nudger' at 15.32hrs over his home on Edderthorpe Lane, Darfield. 

6 House Martins arrived on the wader scrape as the weather closed in, their number quickly increasing to 20 during a torrential downpour (DMS/GM).
