Deepdale Farm - 7th May 2026

 Finally possible to get out following my operation we started with a small and relatively easy site. We put up 5 nets and managed 23 birds.

We had fewer retraps than expected and the Whitethroats were a bit of a surprise as they have usually used the field next to us, but that has no bird seed crop currently probably explaining the switch to nettles and brambles for feeding areas.
