17/01 Greenham Common

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure

Session: 17-Jul-2020, 07:10 to 10:50hrs

Notes: A good start today, eight in the nets before I finished erecting them. Unfortunately, it then reverted to the usual trickle of birds. A re-trap Garden Warbler from 2018 probably the best bird today.

Present: JL,IW

Weather: clear blue sky, warm, calm, clouding over late in session and light breeze.

Nets: 48metres in 3 net rides, two 18M and one 12M net up from 07:30 to 10:30hrs

Lure (Audio): Warbler, Misc Migrants, Redstart, Woodlark, Stonechat and Dartford Warbler  intermittently.

Recaptures (1): Garden Warbler ringed 02/08/2018 as a juvenile.

Sightings 31 Species: A couple of Blackbirds and Robins around the enclosure when I arrived, the first for a while. A probable Lesser Spotted Woodpecker but to far away to be sure by the time IW noticed it.
