Stanwell Moor ringing site - 24 June 2011

A visit this evening with Helen, her first visit to the site was meet by a good number of low flying Hirundines, but unfortunately they seemed to avoid capture with the exception of a single House Martin and Swallow, being the first for Helen. A Little Egret was again present and a check to see if the Little Ringed Plover had made it through a day of heavy rain only produced four adults but no young, and the Lapwing was no longer on the mud by the ride which may unfortunately indicate they lost their young. Birds rung were:

Swallow - 1
House Martin -1
Wren -1
Reed Warbler - 4 (2)
Blackcap - 1
Chiff-chaff - 1
Long-tailed Tit - 6
Reed Bunting - 1
