Wednesday morning and a good team out in perfect ringing conditions scored really well with 80 new birds ringed.
From the first net round until 08.30 plenty of new birds found the nets with 22 reed warblers topping the list. The pattern this year was repeated with only 10 sedge warblers yet again showing how this species has suffered from earlier poor weather. 19 blackcaps was typical for this time of year but only 4 chiffchaff and 2 willow warblers were disappointing.
4 bullfinches were probably all from the same brood and 2 juvenile tree sparrows were a welcome addition.
