13/08 Thatcham Marsh LNR

Location: Thatcham Marsh LNR CES 2022.11
Session: 13/08/2022 06:00 to 11:00hrs
Notes: By this years standards a reasonable total but not as good as last years matching session when we ringed a movement of Chiffchaffs (35% of total). RAD had fun with the Jay, had to prise the bill apart to release skin! After last week’s audio luring a much better total than expected. Thanks to BBOWT for getting the gate lock sorted after a series of malfunctions.
