Carlton Marsh

Today's highlights were 9 Common Gull, 60 Pink Feet east at c09.30hrs with c100 west at 14.40hrs (Rob Lindley/Geoff Miller). A Siskin flew south and 5 adult Whooper Swans flew north at 11.15hrs (CG/Richard Laverack).

A pair of Mute Swans Yellow Y227 (female) and Red Y892 (male) were new in today and are thought to be the pair seen at Storrs Mill on the Dearne yesterday. Y227 was one of 3 cygnets ringed at Rabbit Ings 2 years ago.

The Tawny Owl was still happily languishing in a tree near the steps to the car park (Dave Smith et al) and a few Redwing were feeding on Haws.
