A visit by CL, DKL, MRB and Margaret found the site bathed in sunshine with minimal breeze. The usual number of nets were erected and we began to catch, mainly a steady trickle of breeders and in the case of the Robins some of the ofspring too.

3JJ Robin
There were 18 birds all told with a few examples of adult birds already starting their summer complete moults. The best bird of the day was, unfortunately, not caught. A Wood Warbler was heard to emit brief bursts of song up until 9.45am or so, but despite efforts to locate it in the canopy, it never emerged into view and was not seen.
