Stanwell Moor ringing site - 22 September 2011

As the opportunities for catching departing summer migrants seems to be drawing to a close we squeezed in another
evening roost. There were no signs of House Martin or Swallow, and attempts for Reed Bunting and Greenfinch were also unsuccessful. It did, however, turn out to be a little out of the ordinary since we ringed 10  and birds never even got the A rings out of the box. Don’t think we’ve ever done a purely AA session before.

Total as follows

Cetti’s Warbler – 0 (1)
Chiffchaff – 9
Long Tailed Tit – 1
Blue Tit – 0 (1)
