Carlton Marsh

The Barnsley Naturalist Society visited this morning providing the following 4 Buzzards in the air together, 5 singing Chiffchaffs, 1 singing Cetti's warbler, 3 singing Reed Buntings, 1 Yaffling Green Woodpecker, 1 Linnet, 1 Greenfinch, a male Grey Wagtail and 6 Common Gulls.

The first flowers of Cowslip were showing in the western Meadow along with Dogs Mercury and White Dead Nettle on the embankment.

4 Smooth Newts and a Froglet from last year were found under an old sleeper and a Lemon Slug was under a rock. 

A fresh dead Wood Mouse was another interesting find. 

A Orange Underwing was flying around the top of a Silver Birch tree (C. Parkin).

It was really good to see old friends from this group again, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Thank you for coming and being so enthusiastic.
