A lovely calm early September morning. We got most of the
nets up just before it got light. The first round of a half a dozen birds was
followed by a second of considerably more and they just kept coming resulting
in a catch of 212 birds in all.
One adult Blue tit and 211 juveniles. We tried to make some
of the Willow Warblers into adults, but no, all juveniles!
100 Blackcaps of which only two were retraps shows that a
passage of birds is underway. Two Spotted Flycatchers were very welcome
as were five juvenile Kingfishers, four of which together in the same net.The female
Cetti's Warbler ringed at the beginning of August was recaptured in net 8, which
is hopeful for next year.
A couple of very noisy Hobbies occupied the cherry
trees at net 1 all morning and a Green Sandpiper made a brief appearance over
the reed bed too. Because of the calm, balmy conditions hirundine numbers were low, so no repeat of last week.
Early on we broadcast Tree Pipit song at net 1, nothing
ventured nothing gained...
