Wraysbury GP - 1 March 2014

CL, DKL and TA met up at 6.45am and walked on site. There have been large numbers of Thrushes present throughout the winter, but inclement weather has meant that there have been no trips to  monitor numbers and behaviour of late.

We set three doubles and began to play for Redwing, Linnet and Redpoll. 
Over the course of the morning, we tried other songs including Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail, Greenfinch and Long Tailed Tit, but for all our efforts we only managed 15 birds and not a single Thrush amongst them.

This has to be the first time that we used more B rings than any other.

 5M Greenfinch

Totals: 12 (3)

Wren - 1
Robin - 2 (2)
Dunnock - 3 (1)
Long-tailed Tit - 4
Greenfinch - 2
