07/05 Thatcham Marsh LNR

Location: Thatcham Marsh LNR
Session: 07/05/2023 07:00 to 11:30hrs
Notes: An in-between CES visit and a disappointingly low capture. The 2020 Titchfield Haven Reed Warbler had been re-trap several times from May to late June 2021 on the LNR and was also re-trapped May 2022 and again today. The reed bed was quiet so hopefully most of “our” acrocephalus warblers have yet to return.

Nets: 198Metres, 1 reed bed ride up from 7:30 to 11:00hrs
