06/09 Greenham Common Western Enclosure

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure
Session: 06-Sep-2018 07:00 to 11:00hrs
Headlines: It was nice to be joined by Alex Lord a ringer who is staying in Newbury for a few weeks before moving to Cornwall. We captured mostly Blackcaps with a couple of Chiffchaffs and three Willow Warblers and, for this site, the sixth Lesser Whitethroat of the season. Also, two each of Blue and Great Tits, these have become quite regular here recently and are mostly new singletons; not seen the usual Autumn tit flocks on Greenham Common so far this season. As they normally fly quite high over the heath between treelines, a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker was an unexpected capture. Another enjoyable session even though a very talkative bird photographer slowed the nets down process somewhat.
Weather: bright, sunny, light breeze, warm.
Present: JL, AML
Nets: 48metres in three rides of 18m, 18m, 12m, up from 07:30 to 10:30hrs
