Sedge Warbler: A juvenile we ring one or two here most years.

Notes: We expected that the early overcast weather might have brought a few birds down, but it was mostly as expected for the time of year. We have a matching visit for 2025 it being the first session of the season for that year. We finally ringed one of the Dartford Warblers that regularly frequent the area and the Sedge Warbler, out of its normal habitat ,shows that migrants are on the move. 

Recaptures: (0) 

Sightings: Apart from a flock of 42 Jackdaws out from the Bunkers, it was surprisingly quiet.
