Carlton Marsh

On the wader scrape first thing 6 motherless Tufted Ducks all thriving nonetheless, and Little Egret. A female Tufted on the main scrape strarted off with 13 ducklings, which are now 10. (K. Bannister) Soon after an adult Yellow-legged Gull (Psyco?) was with other large gulls on the wader scrape. (JP)

This afternoon's butterflies included 5 Red Admiral, 6 Comma, 72 Peacock and 54 Gatekeeper. A male Large Red Damsefly was notable. (Chris Parkin),
