Carlton Marsh & Ferrymoor Flash

Carlton Marsh

Not a great deal about today aside from the usual. Cetti's and buntings were flying back and forth across the hide pond many times. Male GS Woodpecker arrived at 08:20 to the right of the hide chirping away for 5 minutes. Managed to bag a shot of a Reed warbler below. Also found a Snakefly, first time we've ever seen one. We did hear Treecreepers behind the double bench by the meadow but couldn't get eyes on them (Phil Bulpin).

Just outside the recording area on Royston Road, a Barn Owl was hunting a st aside field at 09.15hrs (per JP).
