Carlton Marsh

A Red Kite was soaring over the marsh at 10.20hrs (Mick Littlewood). The first broods of Greylag and Coot were evident with more to come. Our resident Buzzards were airborne this afternoon along with a male Kestrel and a female Sparrowhawk, the Herring Gulls constantly disturbed by them. A pair of Teal remain and a dabchick was the first for a while. A Water Rail was singing from south of the ringing rides and a Coal Tit was singing.

Orange-tip (including 1 female), Peacock and Comma were on the wing along with a Bee Fly.
