Carlton Marsh

Two Chiffchaffs are singing now along with Coal Tit, 5 Reed Buntings and a Goldcrest. 13 Herring and 3 Common Gulls were on the wader scrape and a Water Rail called from the main scrape.

The slime mould Enteridium lycoperdon is growing on a dead Alder (Alnus glutinosa). It looks a bit like an upside white cat.

A new species of Fungi is also fruiting on the embankment, Disciotis venosa (Bleach Cap).
