A bit on the windy side and with no takers for the session, we switched to a smaller site that would afford some shelter from the stiff breeze.
Only 21 birds captured, although a large flock of Long-tailed Tits that completely missed all nets could have swelled the total quite a bit. Whitethroats were particularly interesting as the mainly young birds made up almost half of the catch. Pleased to get a Lesser Whitethroat as this is the site where we are most likely to encounter them.
