Carlton Marshes


Today we visited Carlton Marshes one of Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserves www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org this reserve is part of the Suffolk Broads and today it was extremely hot in fact when we returned back to the car it was 34c.

There was an abundance of dragonflies flying around the various dyke's and trying to photograph one of the various species was very difficult as soon as one landed i set my tripod down and focused the dam thing took of before I could hit the shutter release. My photographic friend and I have a name for this Nikonitus.

The most funniest part of the day was when I placed my foot in a cow pat that was left there by one of the cattle that graze the marshes, I can assure you my photographic buddy really laughed, never mind his turn will come one day.

During our visit to Carlton Marshes we saw Marsh Harrier, Heron, various species of Dragonflies, Reed Warbler, an abundance of Meadow Brown Butterflies.

All in all a very nice few hours spent at this reserve and off course we will be visiting it again later in the year.
