Carlton Marsh

 A Woodcock was flushed this morning from the embankment and a Little Egret was on the wader scrape (Keith Bannister).

A little later Green Woodpecker called, 20 Siskin were in the car park and 6 Tufted Duck were on the scrape (Les & Andrew Corrall).

This afternoon towards dusk a Linnet flew south, 15 + 3 Yellow Buntings came in to roost in Common Reed, a Cetti's Warbler sang and a Tawny Owl called before it flew within 10 yards of me in the fading light. The Mute Swan that came in on the 5th is Y227, he was ringed as an adult at Doncaster Lakeside in 2015 (CG).
