Stanwell Moor - 23 July 2012

An evening visit produced 25 birds. The first juvenile Reed Warbler of the season was most welcome along with returners X905781 and L851561 ringed on 27/06/10 and 28/07/11 respectively. It seems that V967422 from Stoke Lake Guildford, controlled on 22nd May and retrapped on 20th June has become a regular, having been caught for the third successive month.
