Another evening visit which produced 18 birds, with a Redshank briefly flying around the ringing area but soon departed without landing. Nothing else unusual with a few more Sand Martins and a Swallow to add to the site total, and the run of Whitethroats continues with this year, already exceeding the 16 processed here last year. One bird of interest was the re-trapping of Reed Warbler N826485 from last year. Details of it's history are shown below, but this was originally a control from Kent in 2009 at Bedfont CP, a site nearby and controlled by us last year.
