A visit to the reedbed with CJH hoping for more Redwings and Reed Buntings produced more tits than anything else in the mix of 8 species. A try at the north fields revealed a single Jack Snipe that evaded capture.

A first full morning session, targeting Meadow Pipit, Redwing and Reed Bunting at the north fields. The first two nets failed to perform but the low net in the reeds and a single net by the gate did rather well, bringing more birds that the previous day's session on the reserve. Leading species was still Blue Tit, despite not a feeder in sight, with Reed Bunting totalling 9 birds and surprisingly Stonechat in third place with 3 individuals.
