25/07 Greenham Common Western Enclosure

Location: Greenhan Common Western Enclosure
Session: 25-Jul-2018 06:45 to 10:35hrs
Headlines: very quiet today and little sign of passage compared to previous recent visits. As can be seen from the sightings list below very little activity on the common even the dog walkers all but stayed away. The last bird captured was a pristine male Whitethroat , had mostly grey feathers on the crown; just ending its moult. Unfortunately the photos I took are not very good as it was fidgety and the grey was lost in the strong light. 
Weather: Sunny early clouding over later, hot, slight breeze.
Present: JL, SC
Nets: 48metres in three rides of 18m, 18m, 12m up from 07:15 to 10:00hrs

Recaptures: none
Sightings 18 Species: not much about at all, didn’t even pickup any Blue or Great Tits, probably all staying cool deep in the woods, don't think I missed all that many species today as I had plenty of spare time and walked around the overshoot area several times
