Carlton Marsh

This morning a Hobby was harassed by a Crow over the scrape at 09.50hrs (Helen Todd). 2 Little Egrets were on the wader scrape and a Cetti's Warbler called from the reed beds. A Goldcrest called and 50 Canada and 10 Greylags were resting on the scrape

At least 3m Vapourer moths and 5 Brown Hawkers were flying (Geoff Carr/CG).

This evening 30 House Martins and a very late Hobby at dusk. The Bittern climbed the reeds at 20.00hrs and continued to show until the light faded. It gave good views for several observers as the photographs below show (Helen & Andy Todd).
