A few of us headed down to Swantail Hide this evening to try and bag a catch of Swallows. Hundreds filled the sky not long after we’d opened the nets which left us thinking it was going to be a massive catch, however a lot of the birds weren’t coming low enough. We ended with 58 birds including a few Sand Martin and warblers. Jean also brought along 9 Mallards to ring and release on the pool.
Total for the night = 57 (1)
Reed Warbler 3
Sand Martin 4 (1 control)
Swallow 48
Willow Warbler 2
