Deepdale Farm - 30th October 2024

 Back to the marsh fields where we try for pipits, hoping to catch a Water Pipit for the national project that we coordinate. Again, we failed and with low numbers of meadow pipits present only got two of those. We did mange to get 5 Redwing, all adults, that we'd heard fly over from the direction of the seawall and they were quickly processed and on their way. Once the sun came out we caught 6 Bearded Tits that were coming out to the channel closest to the boundary fence and were quite pleased with a retrapped Cetti's Warbler that had been ringed in August 2022 as a juvenile and not recorded since.
