A total of 41 birds on the record sheet today, with Wren very nearly coming in as leading species, but not quite due to one more Blue Tit. There were no large feeding flocks connecting with the nets in the beavers' enclosure so not a bad total although there were only 5 summer migrants in the mornings catch, there were plenty of resident species young birds that have been bred locally.
Green Sandpiper and Kingfisher were both heard from the adjacent fishing pond.
One of 3 young Chiffchaff caught today
