Still a few migrants around as six hours in the field resulted in a catch of 39 birds. The Sedge Warblers have finished moving through now and only three Reed Warblers were caught by our efforts in the reedbed. We managed to attract some Chiffchaffs and a few Blackcaps, including an adult in primary moult that was ringed by us in May 2023.
