Wendover CES 3 - 26th May 2018


560ft nets (standard CES pattern)
nets open from 03:56 to 09:20

Another well below par session that started in calm,overcast, misty conditions but was terminated 40 minutes early due to rain.   No migrant species were encountered, which must be a first for this session.  We're struggling to come up with an explanation for the low numbers, but it seems that similar CES results are being reported over Southern England at least.  The total of 18 compares with a historical average of 40 for CES#3.
Our first juvenile Robin and a 3 year old adult Robin were probably the highlights!
