Location: Thatcham
Marsh LNR
Session: 09-Apr-2017 07:00 to
11:00hrs
Headlines: The highlight today
was a visitor from the South Atlantic, Annalea on short visit from St Helena;
we were one short of a full NRG attendance. At least four singing Sedge
Warblers early and one or two remained for most of the morning. Five Chiffchaffs
included one ringed at the Greenham Feeder 16-Mar-2014; three years is good
going. One of the Reed Buntings had also been ringed at the Western Enclosure,
Greenham Common 28-Oct-2015; it is a local as we recaptured it on the reed bed
last year. It would have been nice to have captured one of several
Blackcaps present.

Sightings 40 Species: A lot of activity early in the scrub and a few fly-over waterfowl but little else. Following a tipoff, a stop-over at LGP after ringing added two species to my year list: a nice male Garganey and an Oystercatcher.
