Stanwell Moor ringing site - 9 August 2011

In a momnet5 of over keenness, Denise and I went to our Stanwell site in the evening after the am session at Wraysbury. It turned out quite worth while with a reasonable Hirundine catch for this site consisting f a single Sand Martin and over ten Swallows. The Starling roost was extremely unsettled having one or two visits from a Sparrowhawk, with birds flying in and out of the roost frequently but fortunately only a few were caught. Total for the night was 28.

Greenfinch - 3 female

Evening totals:

Sand Martin - 1

Swallow - 11

Reed Warbler - 8

Blackcap -2
