Common Feeder Winter CES 2022/23.06
Session: 15/01/2023 07:45 to 11:00hrs
Notes: Having missed visits 3, 4 and 5 due to the weather and for other
reasons it was good to get up and running again. A reasonable capture of 51 given that we missed three
visits and feeding was paused for a couple of weeks. Interestingly 7 of 11 pulli
ringed in box CP26 were re-trapped together today; this box is the furthest out
on the common to the southeast. The Great Tits arrived noticeably later in the
morning and there was no sign of any Marsh Tits, some needed to see the latter
for a year tick. At about 10:30hrs it began spotting with rain and the rain
radar was showing a heavy shower coming in from the west, so we took the nets down
early, needless to say the rain stopped and the sky cleared so perhaps we were a
little over cautious on our first ringing session of the year.
