Notes: Started a bit later
then intended but very quiet early on, so don’t think I missed much. A few
Garden Warblers and two Lesser Whitethroats is good; can’t remember the last
time I captured two of the latter in a session. Just the one Willow Warbler
captured although at least 3 singing when I arrived. As the last session it
was slow at first before birds began moving through, mostly Chiffchaff
then Blackcap began being captured; there had been no sign of them earlier . My first recapture of a Dartford Warbler; something I have been expecting given the number ringed this year. The
enclosure was devoid of birds when I arrived, at times during the session it was quite busy in the bushes but by the time we finished it was quiet again and
getting very hot!.
