Carlton Marsh

On the wader scrape this morning Little Egret, 115 Herring Gulls and 3 Cormorants.

Spring flowers included Snowdrop, Coltsfoot, Field Speedwell and the first flowers of Blackthorn (K. Bannister/C. Parkin).

This afternoon 2 Cetti's Warblers were singing and seen together squabbling over territorial rights in Common Reed, looking down from the first seat on the embankment (D. Standish).

A male Stonechat was found this afternoon near the horse stables on the Barnsley Canal, not thought to be the Rabbit Ings male. (D. Standish).
