A day with some nice birds, although fewer than we hoped. There were birds around, but our nets were not in the right places. Areas within the wild bird crop for extra supplementary feeding were taken advantage of, but a rather flattened crop due to recent heavy rains and very strong winds that keep occurring meant that double panels would have been better within the crop - and we hadn't bought any, not expecting to need them. We did at least manage firsts for DKH and OHK in the form of Yellowhammer and Reed Bunting and also the first Blackbirds we've been able to catch at the site.
4M Yellowhammer
A retrapped Blue Tit was shown on DemOn as having been ringed as a nestling in May, so we await details of where it has come from.
