Session: 27/09/2022 07:40 to 10:30hrs
Notes: Strong blustery wind not ideal, eventually it rained so nets down early at 10:00hrs. A Goldcrest was the first bird, but it got out of the net before we could extract it. A few more Blackcap and Chiffchaff to add to this year’s total. Didn't expect to catch much given the conditions.

Sightings:  A good movement of hirundine through southwest early, followed by small groups over  until it rained, some going north-ish.  A Woodlark  is the first at this end of the common we have seen for a while. Dartford Warblers very noisy.
