Stanwell GP - 11 July 2015

An evening session was planned to target hirundines, but the south runway was in use for take off, and as we've seen in the past, House Martins, Swallows and Sand Martins prefer to be somewhere less noisy.

There were a few retraps including Reed Warbler D859107 (ringed 6/7/14) & Chiffchaff EBX743 (ringed 10/08/14), both 4Fs with BP4.

EBX743 4F Chiffchaff

The bulk of the catch were birds from a tit flock that passed through.

Totals:  14 (4)

Blackbird - 1
Reed Warbler- 2 (2)
