A slower day
Despite apparently good conditions this morning, the birds simply failed to appear in good numbers. Despite 7 hours of catching, only 38 new birds were processed. These consisted of the usual mix of common migrants, with Robin the most numerous (9).
Totals comprised:
Dunnock/Jernspurv - 1, Robin/Rødhals - 9, Redstart/Rødstjert - 2, Blackbird/Solsort - 1, Reed Warbler/Rørsanger - 1, Icterine Warbler/Gulbug - 1, Lesser Whitethroat/Gærdesanger - 5, Garden Warbler/Havesanger- 4, Blackcap/Munk - 7, Willow Warbler/Løvsanger - 4, Spotted Flycatcher/Grå Fluesnapper - 1, Pied Flycatcher/Broget Fluesnapper - 1, Tree Sparrow/Skovspurv - 1.
A flock of 12 Honey Buzzards passed over early in the morning (having likely roosted nearby), and several Sparrowhawks were flushed from the garden through the day.
