A short session at the sewage works where the site is sheltered by hedges along all boundaries. No invitation to trainees as health and safety training is required along with a fluorescent vest and steel toe-capped boots.
We didn't expect much as so many birds are responding to the spring weather, either returning to summering grounds or preparing for the breeding season. We managed 10 birds from the four nets up (we are limited as to where nets can be placed here), using natural thoroughfares between vegetation and also using the course of a stream.
