Stanwell Moor - 26 Mar 2011

A visit primarily to clear willow from the reed/carr area with the hope of trying to induce a little more reed growth and reduce shoot overs, plus increase the Swallow/Sand Martin roosts. Nets were put up more for the heck of it rather than any real serious expectations. Sighting included two Little Ringed Plovers, a Sand Martin and two Swallows.
Ringed: Chiffchaff and a single Long-tailed Tit, plus a retrap Lotti.

Good job our expectations were not high!
