Today was the first visit of the autumn to the country park.
While setting up all seemed quite quiet. There were a few Goldcrests around and
a couple of Crossbill were heard to pass overhead. Before being fully set, a
mixed tit flock connected with a 40ft net giving a busy start but the catching
then reduced to a trickle as the wind began to increase in strength. We closed
before midday.
The catch was mainly titmice with a smattering of other species. Blue Tit X763679, first caught when aged 3 at Home Cottage Farm, Iver Heath on 28/12/2009 and processed again as a 5 in our garden on 05/02/2010 was retrapped.
