Out for the second day in a row as we expect a spell of windy weather forecast for next week to keep us from mist-netting.
It was another quite diverse catch, even though movement around the site seemed minimal when the sun didn't shine, and then after 11am there was just hardly any movement at all. The Starling flock of 100+ was about briefly, but kept well clear of the nets as did the small flock of Swallows.
Best catch had to be a male Kestrel in its second summer.
Kestrel
Note moult of primaries and retrices
Reed Bunting (the probable reason the Kestrel ended up in the net)
3JP Goldfinch, replacing greater coverts
