Carlton Marsh

This morning 20 Pink Feet Geese flew east at 10.30hrs (JP), then 2 Redwing, a Brambling and 2 Common Gull were on and around the wader scrape (L & A  Corrall).

This evening 6 Whooper Swans flew south at 17.50hrs (D. Standish) then over the Newtown, Cudworth estate (CG) still heading south towards Edderthorpe Flash.  Later, after dark at least 2 Whoopers called  heading south at 19.25hrs (D.M. Smith). 

During daylight hours a Tawny Owl showed well in a sycamore near the steps to the embankment (on the left) (D. Standish).

Yesterday's butterfly count included 7 Small Copper and a Small White. (C. Parkin)

Today 7 Red Admiral and a Comma were seen in Brierley and 5 Red Admiral on Lunn Road, Cudworth all feeding on Ivy. (C. Parkin)
