Rarely do we complete an entire sheet (60) of data on birds captured but we did it today! Better than that, the majority were migrants. Leading species Blackcap (25) followed by Reed Warbler (18 new).
Even a few Swallows for good measure.
An interesting observation was that there were three young Marsh Harrier roosting in the area when we arrived, so the report of an untagged bird last week didn't mean we missed one at all. Our thoughts are that a brood from close by have taken a liking to the lagoons and failing that there was another nest in the reeds that we didn't find.
