The conditions looked promising tonight and so a small team (just the two of us!) headed down to Tower Hide to attempt catching the warblers coming in to roost. Being only two pairs of hands we put just the two nets up in the reed bed. There was much less activity than last week, however a greater number of Hirundines were feeding low across the fields, leading to the idea of a Swallow roost next week. The majority of Reed Buntings caught were again mainly 3J’s. Whilst setting the nets for the roost three Canada Geese were also caught and ringed.
Total for the night = 28 (8)
Reed Bunting 20 (3)
Reed Warbler 2 (1)
Sedge Warbler 3 (4)
Swallow 3
