Carlton Marsh

 Our wildlife group were busy again this morning strimming the path verges etc. We were joined by young Rueben, who is on school holiday at the moment.

A walk around with Gary Haywood produced a Grey Wagtail, Water Rail, and Buzzard.

Butterflies included 1 Holly Blue, 6 Common Blue, 4 Painted Lady and several Red Admirals.

A Mink ran accross the railway line towards Carlton Marsh (Chris Parkin).
