Oulton Marshes

We had a site managers meeting at Carlton Marshes for updates from our team leader Dorothy Casey then we had a walk round Oulton Marshes, led by Mat Gooch, looking at recent management work.  Since my last visit it was quite obviouse as to how much restoration work has been completed, the wetland reserve is looking great.

We held our Xmas shared bash at the Carlton VC and in the afternoon Mat gave us a demonstration of how the Trust's new foot-drain machine carves out grips.

Observations on Oulton Marshes included several Woodcock, 2 Marsh Harriers, 5 Egyptian Geese, 2 Barn Owls, several Snipe, Sparrowhawk and a wintering Chiffchaff.
