Notes: A busier morning with lots of juveniles about and a good
total for recent times. The average total for visit 07 is 55 (range 2024 – 23 and
1993&95 - 109). The ANK6944 Reed Warbler encountered today was ringed at
Titchfield Haven. It was ringed as an adult 08/08/2020 and we have re-captured
it 15 times during 2021 to 2024; this is the first time we have re-captured it in
2025. It has probably nested a little further away from the net ride this year
as we have encountered it several times: 2021 - 4, 2022 - 5, 2023 - 3 and twice in
2024.
