Session: 18-Jul-2018 06:40 to
10:30hrs
Headlines: It seems birds were on the move today so a good capture, mostly juveniles but also a few adults in the late stages of moult. Three crests arrived
late in the session, the first proved very interesting as it was a recently
fledge bird; see photos below; later two recently fledged Goldcrest captured alleviated a slight doubt as to it being its ID as a Firecrest. None of the crests had any sign of a crest. Yesterday Whitethroats matched the capture of
other migrants except Blackcap, not today though. Last year’s matching visit had many fewer migrants. A busy morning until the capture tailed off at about 09:30hrs.
Weather: Present:
Nets:
Lure (audio): Blackcap, Chiffchaff,
Goldcrest, Firecrest, Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler, Redstart, Whitethroat intermittently

The two crests on the right are recently fledged, the eye strip was less obvious "in the flesh"
