Quite an old Long-tailed Tit from 2018 (7years) when it was a juvenile, not re-trapped since until today. It was in company with at least two juveniles, we caught both but one freed itself from the bag while we were taking the nets down.

Sightings: The Oystercatcher flew west calling as we were putting the nets up and the first time we’ve detected a Dartford Warbler here for a week or two. A large Dragonfly flew through too fast to ID it.
