Session: Thursday
Notes: Second session this week,
weather was forecast to remain dry until about 10:00hrs. As with most recent
visits more Blue Tits than expected. It seems to have been a good year for both
Blue and Great Tits, indicating a good post fledging survival. I started up my
three feeders last week and already food is going faster than in recent years;
hope my finances can keep up. Small groups of Redwings were going over
South-west for most of the morning, some dipped down towards both the Latvia and
Scandinavian songs and calls. None appeared to land in the enclosure scrub, so
it was a bit of a surprise to find one in the net. A dark individual, quite
long-winged. Even more interesting, on the next round was a Song Thrush. Just
before the round I had mentioned that this species was scarce here this
year, having not detected one for some time. It was also a long-winged dark
individual. Both were probably of Scandinavian origin, but as both species
were the first for quite a while who knows. I had intended to stay
until10:30hrs for nets down, but just as had been forecast, around 10:00hrs the sky
darkened, so we quickly took the nets down; it began raining quite heavily as I
opened the gate to leave the common.
