Carlton Marsh

A sextet of singing warblers today included 16 Willow warblers, 12 Chiffchaffs, 7 Blackcaps, 3 Sedge Warblers, 2 Reed Warblers and a Whitethroat. A few Swallows started to move when the sun shone this afternoon, but no Martins. Of note was a Redpoll, 2 Buzzards at mid-day and 1 at 16.15. Coal Tit and Goldcrest are still here - neither of which have ever bred before.
