Wraysbury GP - 27th August 2020

We worked Wraysbury today and while other groups are reporting catches in excess of 300 and out of the ordinary captures such as Wryneck, we continue to plod along with the usual and managed 86 birds. Garden Warbler numbers are now in decline while Blackcaps remain the bulk of the catch.
A ringed Willow Warbler BLD868 was not one of ours. Demon reports that the bird was ringed on August 5th this year. Less than 24 hours later we have a notification that the bird was ringed at Rowensgarth, Greens, Aberdeenshire.
