Stanwell Moor ringing site - 13 June 2011

Another evening session only produced seven birds, a little too windy for House Martins or Swallows and the Sand Martins failed to roost. Interestingly we had another Reed Warbler ringed in 2009 and not re-trapped in 2010. We have had an interesting series of such birds this year, and oddly none were juveniles in 2009. We did manage another control tonight, a Garden Warbler, L497221, which is not bad considering the low catch and the control Swallow two days previously. We also had the first juvenile Reed Bunting of the year but still no juvenile Reed Warblers. Totals were:

Reed Warbler - 0 (2)
Garden Warbler - 0 (1)
Blackcap - 1 (1)
Blue Tit -  0 (1)
Reed Bunting - 1

Garden Warbler, adult - L497221
