Stanwell Moor ringing site - 17 August 2011

Another evening roost visit was met by the start of rain which was moderately heavy and therefore we started with uncertain whether to carry on our not plus being the habitat it is everyone got soaked through just going through the vegetation. In nay event the rain cleared, a few more birds around than Tuesday plus again a few Hirundines at dusk gave us a slightly higher catch of  24 new birds and 3 retraps.

Totals:
Swallow - 8
Reed Warbler - 2
Garden Warbler - 1
Blackcap -5
Chiff-chaff - 5 (1)
Blue Tit -2(2)
Greenfinch - 1
