CES#8 was completed in less than ideal conditions, with a strong breeze developing towards the end. The number trapped (33) was below the mean of 44 but we were glad to fit the session in after a number of false starts during the week due to early morning rain. The species list was dominated by Blackbirds and Blackcaps both of which are now approaching reasonable totals for the year. Bird of the day was undoubtedly the juvenile male Green Woodpecker, only the 5th to be trapped on site. A single juvenile Whitethroat put in an appearance – just to remind us of what we have been missing this year. No Dunnocks were trapped which is most unusual for the site – maybe they didn’t like the strong wind?
