MRB, BC and Margaret were running a session at Broadwater so I joined them as I've not seen them for a good few weeks. Having a swollen ankle, I decided to remain at the base but timed my arrival perfectly as they were just about to release a bird that they felt I would want to see.
The Garden Warbler was already fitted with a ring from the French ringing scheme.

The captures were slow but steady with a rush of birds in the same net at the end, it looked as though birds were already starting to band into small feeding flocks.
