Stanwell Moor GP - 31st August 2018

The session brought a good range of species. The two nets on the track provided most of the birds with 6 Meadow Pipits coming from a V configuration set low for pipits and nets around the lake bringing just a couple of Reed Warblers and recaptured Cetti's Warbler Z958014 that was ringed as a juvenile on 30/10/2016.

4F Z958014, captured a third time since it was ringed on 30/10/2016

Captures of Goldfinch juveniles proved interesting with some birds in tail and main wing moult while others showed no signs of changing their flight feathers.
