Wraysbury GP - 20th October 2019

We haven't visited this site since the end of August and didn't expect a great deal at this time of year. There are not many thrushes on site yet and Goldcrest and tits are likely to make up the bulk of the catch. We erected seven nets and were surprised to take a most respectable first round including three Redwing, a Reed Bunting and a number of Goldcrest. There were more birds over the next two rounds, but it went very quiet after that.
