Session:
Notes: It didn’t look promising this morning as the weather reverted to the dark
and blustery that has become the norm for some weeks now. Some interesting birds
though. It started with just one bird at nets up, an out of habitat Reed
Warbler. Then nothing until 09:00hrs when we captured 18 in one net round. This included
one of my hoped-for species, an immature male Redstart. Just one bird from the
next round and finally four more including a feisty Magpie that took a few
painful pecks at my hand, drew blood once. We had been joined by my great
grandson Charlie who insisted Kay sent photos to his mum and dad of me
struggling to control the bird.
