Stanwell Moor ringing site - 8 September 2010
Tonight we managed to catch 6 Swallows and a Sand Martin at roost. About 30 odd birds had been present. Removal of the net over the water in front of the reeds which might have effected birds coming into roost may have assisted with a catch after a couple of negative evenings. Visit supplemented with a Reed Warbler and 4 Chiff-chaffs in an hour and 15 session.
