most migrants showing zero fat. After nets down we began cutting back the net rides, thought

Chiffchaff       ringed 09/07/2021, 18/08/2021

Sightings: Noticed while ringing, also IW/JB saw  three Grass Snakes in the water while
checking out the Marsh Frogs in the pool near the gate on to the common; presumably
preying on the frogs
