Stanwell Moor - 22 May 2012

A session out tonight at Stanwell Moor produced only 8 birds, but 2 controls a Reed Warbler V967422 and the other, a Chiff-chaff DTJ 277 was from only from 6km away, Hersham RG at Queen Mary Res. A Song Thursh re-traped that had been missing for 5 years. So depite low catch - not bad. The willow/carr area is aways low catching area during the breeding season, though the post fledging Starling roost is already in use, though not easy to catch as they usual roost in willows over water that has a very unsafe mud substrate.

Chiff - chaff (DTJ277)

Totals 5 (3):

Robin - 1
Dunnock - 3
Song Thrush - 0 (1)
Reed Warbler - 1 (1 - control)
Chiff-chaff - 0 (1 - control)
