Knowing how few birds we've caught at this site, at similar times of year, we weren't expecting much as we joined MRB and Margaret for a morning at Broadwater.
We put up eight nets and thought we might be lucky to get twelve to fifteen birds. We actually did slightly better than that with 23 birds altogether, including a Jay, some Chiffchaffs and what might be the last Redwing of the winter.
