Carlton Marsh

Most of the open water was iced over, however a pair of Shoveler and several Teal managed to keep a small area free of ice.

The bad news is that one of our resident Mute Swans was dead on the ice in a place where it would have been dangerous for the local authority contractor to retrieve it for analysis.

c150 Pink Feet Geese flew NW at 12.02hrs. There were also 3 Redpolls, 6 Fieldfares and 40+ Redwings.
