Session: 30/05/2021, 06:00 to 10:50hrs
Notes: A surprisingly quiet session today and not much activity on the reed bed. We decided after the intruder last week not to erect any additional nets. There were no intruders during today’s session but signs of regular foot and bike access; the shelter is still there. The French Sedge Warbler re-trapped again. Unlike 2019 no juveniles yet.

Weather: Sunny periods, calm, cool
Nets: 198metres in 1 ride of 198M up from 06:30 to 10:30hrs
Lures: None

Sightings 39 species: Cuckoos although present much less active this week and not so many hirundine over. A group of 10+ Long-tailed Tits, many probably juveniles, flew towards the reed bed but avoided the nets.
