Session:
Notes: The first CES of the
season and the first session here this year thanks to help with the bridge by
BBOWT. Half the main standard net ride had a much need cut of the phragmites reed bed in the winter, so expectations are low at least until late June from here. This may account
for the lower Reed Warbler capture compared to last year. A steady capture
throughout the session and a good total for an early session. A control
Blackcap was unexpected, Some of the early ringed Reed Warblers were not
captured in 2018. Six Great Tits and two Blue Tits out on the reed this early
probably indicates early breeding as found to be the case in our nest boxes.

Sightings 45 Species: A few
Swifts over today, the first of the year for some of us. Not many hirundine about and no terns over. Two Buzzards displaying over the woods to the west and a high flying Sparrowhawk was also zooming about. The remaining areas of reed bed were quite quiet, hopefully more acrocephalus will arrive in the next few days.
