Carlton Marsh

Carlton Marsh
Our focus today was  on clearing some of the Glyceria from the outlet sluice of the wader scrape to allow the water to flow out better, when we need to reduce the levels. Some of the birds present were Little Egret, Cetti's Warbler, Sedge Warbler. The Goldcrest was singing again in the car park (CG).
