Stanwell Moor ringing site - 11 August 2011

Another spur of the moment evening visits was a little disappointing, with only 11 birds caught, with nine Reed Warblers and two Starlings. No roost. Often it is impossible to get a roost formed when the winds are blowing from the SW direction and the south runway at Heathrow is being used for takes off as the planes fly low over the site and the noise probably caused too much distraction and also blocks out the sound system.
