15/08 Greenham Common

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure
Session: 15-Aug-2019 07:20 to 10:50hrs
Notes: It was very windy when I looked out the bedroom window this morning. As over the last few weeks I have been quite successful here when it is windy I thought I’d give it a go. The total suffered as many birds could see the net and jinked over or were bounced out. Given the conditions 12 is not bad. Two Lesser Whitethroats brings the total for the season to eight, the best ever. No sign of any Whitethroats today, Willow Warblers are still about though..
Weather: sunny period, warming up, very breezy.
Present: JL
Nets: 48metres in three rides of 18m, 18m, 12m up from 08:00 to 10:30hrs
Lure (audio): misc migrants, warblers, redstart, swallows intermittently

Sightings 18 Species: Not much activity today, everything laying low in the bushes out of the wind. They are filming over by the bunkers, so all the Jackdaws have disappeared. The Dartford Warbler was an un-ringed juvenile.
