A team of CL, PWL, DKL and LC put in 6 hours at the site, monitoring the beaver enclosure. It has been necessary to adjust our route in due to beavers' works flooding the track on part of the access near the dragonfly hide. We will still be placing nets in three of the original rides and are still able to work the site without disturbing the scrape where Marsh Harriers are nesting.
We captured 14 birds, six of these returning birds from previous years. On such a small catch it was extremely good to have a spread of seven species, a second Grasshopper Warbler for the site this year, the first Garden Warbler for this site and a first Willow Warbler for the year.
