On arrival after a very foggy drive to the site, we were pleased to find the conditions a little clearer. We got a configuration consisting of a triple and double for pipits, a net through a hedge on the track and a 3 panel double on a clearer area of fields.
Things started quite well with three Meadow Pipits being captured, but soon quietened down as the mist became thicker and bird activity noticeably reduced. It was a while before conditions improved and we made a few more catches. We finished on 30 birds, not too bad considering the fog, although half was made up of tits from the hedgerow.
Four Redpoll attracted to the hedge net were all Lessers.
