A forecast of rain in the early morning delayed our start and we weren't on site until 7.00am. We had a total of nine nets up and caught over 80 birds including some species that do not regularly appear on the record sheets here. As well as the more usual Whitethroats, Blackcaps, Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs, today we also caught an adult Woodpigeon, a juvenile Pied Wagtail and some young Swallows, all contributing to our total of 16 species.
