Stanwell Moor ringing site - 28 June 2011

A bit of a gathering this evening in gloomy conditions, with a couple of new visitors in the shape of Eleanor and Emma (from St Andrews Uni) and despite a lot of House Martins low over the site with Swallows and Sand Martins we struggled to catch many, only managing a single Sand Martin and Swallow, both new birds for Emma, along with Starling. We did however also manage do a further two Little Ringed Plover pulli from a second brood. Total for the evening was 22:


Little Ringed Plover - 2
Sand Martin - 1
Swallow - 1
Blackbird - 1
Sedge Warbler - 1
Whitethroat - 5 (1)
Garden Warbler - 2
Blackcap -  2
Long-tailed Tit - 2
Starling - 3
Reed Bunting - 1
