Session: 31/10/2025 07:40 to 10:45hrs
Present: IW,JL,KMB.
Weather: overcast, occasional rain spotting, cool colder
later.
Nets: 48metres
3 Rides, up from 08:15 to 10:45 hrs.
Lures audio: (BC-CC-FC-GC),(FF-RE),(YB),(SK-LR), intermittently.
Notes: Conditions only just suitable for ringing. It was
very blustery with a strong southerly wind that affected the nets significantly.
Redwings were on the move most of the morning in parties up to 50 or so flying south. Some deflected down around and in the enclosure, called in by the
audio, none netted unfortunately. Last years matching visit had similar numbers
and the weather was calm but cold; we did ring a Redwing though.
Sightings: Kestrels are scarce at this end of the common. A flock of Teal flew quite high north. Weather conditions were poor including low light levels and there were some brown jobs over unrecognised, We finished a little early due to the increasing wind speed and the arrival of dark low rain clouds. Not many Jackdaws today probably disturbed by film crews setting up in and around the bunkers.
