Stanwell GP - 11th August 2018

Knowing that we'd not be monitoring our sites for a few days we decided to get another session in at Stanwell. After the heavy rain of the previous day, we not only found getting through the site difficult inspite of the 4x4, but also that the weather seemed to have pushed a lot of birds on.

There were no signs of flocks of warblers moving through and numbers of each individual species caught tended to be quite low with Whitethroat being the maximum with nine. We had another diverse spread on the recording sheet with House Martin, Magpie and Meadow Pipit  featuring.
