Stanwell Moor ringing site - 10 May 2011

Another evening visit with Gavin was quite successful producing a control Reed Warbler X816098 and unusually four House Martins, one of which was a re-trap of a bird first rung in 2009. This is notable in that we have only done 21 at the site where 100+ are often present, so the chances of re-trap were pretty low.

The evening new bird total was:

Blackbird, House Martin (3), Linnet, Pied Wagtail, Sedge Warbler, Song Thrush (2), Reed Warbler (2) and Whitethroat (4).

3j - Pied Wagtail

Control - Reed Warbler

Linnet - female

House Martin
