Carlton Marsh

I have opened the sluice in the wader scrape to try and reduce the water levels after recent rain. Birds today 2 Grey Wagtails, breeding Meadow Pipit and 2 more broods of 4 + 4 small young Gadwall. 3 Siskins flew out of a Scots Pine and a drake Teal was on the wader scrape. 

A Green Woodpecker seen earlier across the main scrape, was the first this year (Dave Tattershall)

3 Peregrine Falcons were flying around the Ardagh Glassworks chimneys and Fish Dam Lane at 11.30hrs. (Dave Smith).
