Visited the Western Enclosure 13-Mar-2018 08:00 to 10:30hrs, just to see what might be there. The answer to this, as expected, not much. Put up the usual 48metres of net in three rides. Had some trouble with a tangled new net which Ian helped untangle when he arrived, so a bit of a delayed start; 07:30 had been the target. We captured two good birds though; a male and female Stonechat.
Sightings 30 Species: Hoped for an early summer migrant but none seen or heard. The only winter migrants were a few Lesser Redpoll flying about. Very little movement across the heath. Greenfinch singing and displaying but where are the Chaffinches, usually a few singing this time of year but not today. Mistle Thrush seem to be more vocal than usual this week
