Carlton Marsh

Mute Swan Y229 (ringed at Gargrave, North Yorks) came to the scrape followed later by a Whooper Swan to the wader scrape at around 11.20hrs and stayed all day (Les & Andrew Corrall). This is our first ever May record!



A male Cuckoo sang and the hepatic bird was seen again. 2 Cetti's Warblers sang and 2 pairs of Teal are still here.

Butterflies included Orange-tip, Peacock, Speckled Wood, Green Veined White and the year's first Small Copper (Chris Parkin)
