It was forecast for the winds to increase, gusting to 38mph, but KW was prepared to charge and set out the audio-lures so we went down just as it was getting light and dropped the few nets that were sufficiently sheltered. We were able to drop less than half the nets but did so in case there was anything good keeping low in the cover.
We took two rounds, furling on the second as the wind was strengthening. Subsequently, we had a very low total, none of which were retraps.
Total: 34
Robin - 2
Reed Warbler - 1
Whitethroat - 1
Blackcap - 26
Chiffchaff - 4
As we were finished so early we took the opportunity to sea-watch from Porthgwarra. There was little going past but a shoal just off shore kept the Gannets busy while we sheltered, from the strong wind, behind some large boulders.
Following that we tried to see a Dotterel that had been reported around Sennan wihtout any succes though the field held a flock of 10 Golden Plover and a few Mediterranean Gulls.
