We caught our last Sedge warbler of the year on the 7th
October and perhaps the last Reed Warbler on the 16th. The first Redwing was
trapped on the 21st.
When compared to November, October was quite dull with
perhaps a Grey Wagtail being the highlight. Chiffchaff and Blackcap numbers
were still respectable.The month ended with a surfeit of wrens, on
reflection.
November proved more eventful, lots of Blackbirds and loads
of Redwing. We caught a Fieldfare, a Firecrest, a Green Woodpecker, two Jays (one of
which was a retrap from 2012), a Siskin, a Snipe and a Jack Snipe. The last being the
first ringed at the reservoirs. Not a bad selection of species to be going on
with.
