Beating Tuesday at Carswell Marsh and the usual high Hare numbers were in evidence with five in A field I had good views over , three of them were ahem! doing what Hares should be doing in March when they are supposedly at their maddest but who can blame them for getting a little light relief from their currently flooded environment and flooded it most certainly is with a great deal of water everywhere and this meant the usual six drives were restricted to four and some of these were only carried out with difficulty.
Hundreds of Gulls and Winter Thrushes probed the sodden ground for invertebrates with the Redwing accounting for I estimate about forty per cent of the Thrushes. Some one thousand Lapwing and two hundred Golden Plover were like the former species taking advantage of the state of the ground that gave them feeding opportunities, six Pied Wagtails, four Red Kites and two Buzzard were also seen.
