After a very successful CES at C4 on the first of the month, with 131 birds captured including a juvenile Redstart, CL returned to the adjacent area C6 to monitor migrational activity. He was joined by CHR & DKL while KT had suspension problems with the car and unfortunately couldn't make it.
Just five nets were put up and catching was fairly constant until the wind got up at around 10am or so. The catch was mostly Blackcap, Whitethroat and Garden Warbler. Phyloscoppus warblers were much less apparent.
