Today we visited Stanwell Moor to check on the water level and put a few nets up. The water was so high that the usually dry run in the reedbed was also wet, leading to us being unable to deploy the net directly next to the lake. We got three other nets up but caught just two Chiffchaffs, from there for our efforts.
By the river it was rather blowier than we would have liked and only five other birds were caught. Sedge Warbler was probably our best bird with a Blackcap, two Long-tailed Tits one being a retrap and a Dunnock.
At least four Cetti's Warblers were singing, and a Yellow Wagtail flew over.
The Elder plants seem to be taking well, with only a few nibbled by Roe Deer.
Total: 5 (2)
Dunnock - 0 (1)
Sedge Warbler - 1
Blackcap - 1
Chiffchaff - 2
Long-tailed Tit - 1 (1)
