Session: 07-Oct-2018 07:30 to

Headlines: Not many migrants about
this morning and quiet generally. We captured a few Blue Tits and a
Long-tailed Tit; last year’s equivalent visit had a good capture of tits and a few more summer migrants. The Bullfinch was still in primary moult, they normally moult into October so not unusual. A late Reed Warbler was an unexpected capture.
We have captured 36 in October since 1974, the latest being one at Thatcham Marsh

the first week of the month, all but seven were captured at Thatcham Marsh
