Sculthorpe Moor - 21th June 2024

 A morning at the Hawk & Owl Trust, Sculthorpe in the beavers' enclosure. We were able to make 40 captures, of 12 species, including a second Grasshopper Warbler at the site this year, two Marsh Tits that were also colour ringed and a nice selection of young birds.

Nature's engineers have been building dams, flooding the woodland and are even affecting the paths through the site so wellingtons are now a regular requirement.
