Nanjizal, Cornwall - 19th September 2020

Another windy start. KW did not open nets initially as there was also rain nearby. We didn't go straight away and had to vacate the accommodation before going. JR was there when we arrived and KW has left. JR was doing a round when dogs started to run through the site. We saw the trail setter ride past the site, but the dogs must have picked up another scent. They were running back and forth and somehow didn't damage any nets. A hunt on the ringing site was a first we could have done without. 

Bird numbers were up and there were some interesting species that we hadn't caught earlier in the week.

3M Redstart

Adult Siskin, male

Lesser Whitethroat adult

Lesser Redpoll, age 3
