Wraysbury GP - 5th August 2018

We started just after 6am, setting seven nets in what have been some of the better locations with an added single in what we considered to be the best chance of Pied Flycatcher, since there have been several sightings of birds on passage across the country. Of course, we didn't have any luck in that respect, but you have to give it a go.

It was pleasing to find that there were a few more Whitethroats around, although all were juveniles. Blackcap numbers seem to have tailed off somewhat at the moment being outpaced by captures of Garden Warbler that actually comprised a full third of the entire catch.

The heat began to built quite quickly and the bird activity dropped off before 10am. Nets were all down before 11am.
