25/10 Greenham Common

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure

Session: 25Oct-2019 07:35 to 10:20hrs

Notes:  A shortened visit today, other things to do and the threat of rain. After yesterday's Radde’s we had one or two visitors who did not find the bird as far as we know. Ringing-wise things are beginning to tail-off as migrants numbers out and in drop,. We are not getting much response from the Meadow Pipits this year, so one today is good.

Weather: overcast warm, calm, it began to spot with rain about 10:00hrs as forecast.

Present: JL, IW, RJC
