Wilstone Reservoir 16th July 2017

Wilstone Reservoir
Breezy and warm
Nets up 6.00am to 11am
Ringers: JT, Emily and Sandra


A breezy day, perhaps too breezy. Net ride one was a little over exposed and did not catch well. Only 63 birds handled including a kingfisher and two goldfinches.
A pair of buff-tailed bumblebees caught in flagrante in net 6 but released successfully as was a hornet and an unidentified bumble bee. Oystercatchers very noisy calling all morning.
