7th April

Strong Westerly winds dominated the day easing around 5pm when a single net beside the sewage works was opened for an hour resulting in 15 birds caught, Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers, Goldcrest and Blackap most of which were retraps that had put on good amounts of fat.

The afternoon was spent setting up nets our Mannez Quarry site for the first time where ringing should commence tomorrow.
