Wilstone Reservoir 6th August 2017



Under virtually identical weather conditions as last Tuesday (when we caught 140 birds) we were disappointed to catch only 57 birds. We were also disappointed to see a female Sparrowhawk escape from the nets at net ride one.
Looking at the records CES session 10 has quite often registered a dip in numbers,so maybe I should have expected it. Still Sandra was pleased with her first Kingfisher which is some consolation.
A single Willow warbler caught was the only sign of an Autumn passage and only 1 Sedge warbler was encountered .
