01/07 Greenham Common

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure
Session: 01-JuL-2020, 07:15 to 10:20hrs
Notes: I wasn't expecting to be able to do  a session today but the weather looked better than expected early, with a light breeze that increased as the session proceeded; a few likely to have bounced out. Chiffchaff, probably local juveniles beginning to disburse. Another Stonechat bringing the total to six so far; two is the maximum ringed weeks 24 to 27 since 2010, so perhaps signs of a good breeding outcome.
Present: JL,IW
Nets: 48metres in 3 net rides, two 18M and one 12M net up from 07:30 to 10:00hrs
Lure (Audio):
Warbler, Misc Migrants, Redstart, intermittently.

Recaptures: NONE
Sightings 29 Species: Dartford Warbler calling while erecting nets, swifts going south in ones and twos, Bullfinch scarce on the common this year, just a single Woodlark today (none yesterday)
