Deepdale Farm - 22nd April 2023

 The spring continues to drag its heels with another windy, much windier than forecast, and cold morning. 

Despite getting up at 05:30 am and having the nets up in good time we only caught 8 birds, of which only three were unringed. We did get the first Blackcaps of the year, one of which was presumably intending to travel on with a fat score of two. The migration is progressing much slower than last year due to the weather conditions.
