Stanwell GP - 2nd August 2019

We had six nets up and it soon became clear that the wave of birds that were passing through Wraysbury on the 1st were still about. In total we processed 131 birds. There were very few birds already ringed and two of those were controls. Blackcap Z834406, a female, was  ringed on 8th September 2015 and we look forward to learning more of its origin.  Whitethroat ADJ5367 was a bird of this year and ringed on the 13th of July, a little less interesting but it will still be good to know where it was ringed.
