The first session of the year and a very chilly start. There were a few smaller flocks of finches about, but we failed to capitalise on that as they were very mobile and the full height nets were blowing a bit too much. We did do quite well with a double of three panel nets.
We started the morning believing we were in for a Dunnock day, with all but one bird from the first round being a Dunnock. Thankfully, we did manage to get a few Chaffinch and some retraps from the past couple of years.
