An arrangement, with RMA and ESA, to start at 6am was scuppered as the 10% likelihood of rain materialised as intermittent drizzle that continued until 7.30am or so. The late start didn't have an adverse effect on numbers as 80+ birds were captured throughout the morning, much improved on the previous week. The bulk of the catch were Blackcaps and Garden Warblers with a little variety brought by single Reed Warbler, Willow Warbler and Treecreeper. There were also a couple of young Linnets.
There were a couple of interesting retraps, Blackcap Y979984 first captured on 9/07/2011 when already a 4F and L851199,a Garden Warbler that was processed as a 4F on 29/08/2013.
