CES #9 was completed in overcast conditions, but the wind was much less of a problem than on the last occasion. The total catch of 37 was below the average (45)and quite surprisingly 43% of the birds were trapped in Net Ride #1, not normally known for its productivity. Pleasingly Ride #1 produced 2 juvenile Whitethroats which seems to indicate that there has been some breeding on site, possibly in an area not usually used. For the second session running no Dunnocks were trapped. Both Chaffinch and Goldfinch put in short appearances and new Blackbirds continue to appear in significant numbers.
