Wraysbury - 29 September 2012

We joined the group and contributed three doubles to the nets covering area C6. We managed around 90 birds but it took a lot of effort and plenty of netage. There were Meadow Pipits present but most evaded the nets. Blackcap, Goldfinch, Blackbird, Dunnock, Goldcrest, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff and Song Thrush all made it on to the record sheet. There was also a single Reed Bunting.

Age 3 Reed Bunting

Star bird of the day was a juvenile Pied Wagtail.
