Session: 02/07/2023 06:00 to 11:05hrs
Notes:  Not a bad morning but wind affected and for me the colder conditions were a bit of a shocker after the recent heat. We had a good number of Reed Warbler, although always present the first Cetti’s Warbler captured since 28/05 and the first Garden Warbler this year. Few resident species ventured out on the reed bed though.
