Every now and again we try a morning session at the site. Today we split our efforts between the reedbed and the high field. There was a forecast for wind at 6 to 7mph but as so often happens at Stanwell, it was windier than expected. All the same we set up a configuration for Meadow Pipits with the usual nets by the lake.
We managed five Meadow Pipits.

Extent of wear on wing
A few Reed Warblers came from the reedbed and we also recaught a Cetti's Warbler that was done just a few days before. A flock of tits came through in the late morning, inflating the figures of a rather slow morning.
