Norfolk Rivers Trust, Ingoldisthorpe - 19th July 2024

 After weeks of rain and wind the weather improves, then it's no time at all before temperatures are predicted to reach 30 degrees. We started at six and from 8 nets managed 66 birds between the three of us, CL, DKL & DKH. Nets were down just before midday to avoid the worst of the heat. Leading species was Chiffchaff with 23 new birds all hatched this year., and least expected bird a juvenile Goldcrest.
