Corking!
Good conditions through the morning with lightish NW winds and some cloud cover so perhaps I was expecting a bit more in the nets but we still managed 40 birds including 4 Marsh Warblers, 5 Icterine Warblers, a juvenile Red-backed Shrike, 2 Pied Flycatchers and yesterday’s Thrush Nightingale re-trapped but perhaps more noteworthy was a French ringed Reed Warbler. A Marsh Harrier and the first Siskin of the autumn flew over the garden.
A spell of rain arrived at lunchtime heralding a very windy afternoon during which I got a couple of nets open which was certainly made worthwhile by a corking adult male Red-backed Shrike – the bird of the autumn so far!
