This visit was first and foremost for the purpose of fixing ties, hammering in some pegs and shifting concrete blocks into convenient positions for erecting nets, with a view to running a trial CES this season.
This site is a disused gravel and cement workings. Getting pegs in is a nightmare and for one reason or another equipment left in situ tends to get tampered with. Sometimes things have been moved but we also suspect that rabbits nibble ties at the base of buddleia bushes.
We had a few nets up but failed to get much although a Chiffchaff was good.
