Red- foots still showing reasonably well

On Saturday 10th May, in the morning 3 excellent House Martins flew over Fallowfields road. at just after 5pm, I parked up and in the tree just north of us a fine Lesser Whitethroat could be heard constantly scolding and we saw it briefly on some foliage before it dropped left. I walked down to Peto's Marsh, Carlton Marshes again and this time on the path to the Moorings Hide there were around 30 observers including Gavin, John H and Peter N. Later on Rob H and Paul & Sara joined us. One 1st year male was perched close up but a little frustrating for me it flew just as I was setting the camera up. I needn't have worried as a further 3 (immature 1st year male and 2 females were seen nearby). Finally all 5 Red- footed Falcons seen, 1 ad female, 1 immature female and 3 males. Also seen was a Bittern that flew a brief way on the middle area of Peto's and settled in reeds. A Cuckoo flew from Jenson's island acoss and north over Peto's. A brief Barn Owl over Share Marsh fields and a Great White Egret that flew into roost.
