Carlton Marsh & Littleworth Park Monday 29/6/26

Carlton Marsh
An adult Spoonbill left the wader scrape as I arrived at 18.05hrs.

A ringing session provided a a surprise newly fledged juvenile Goldcrest, and a re-trapped male Reed Warbler from July 2018 was the second oldest ever ringed here. As it was an adult when ringed in 2018 that means that it is at least 9 years old having made at least 9 journeys to south of the Sahara and back to the same ringing ride (CG).  

Littleworth Park - Monk Bretton 
1,200 butterflies of 16 species included 1 Painted Lady, 6 Red Admiral, 5 Small Tort., 6 Comma, 645 Meadow Brown, 253 Ringlet, 34 Small Heath, and 2 Banded Agrion damseleflies (C. Parkin).
