Hello
Yesterday (Sunday), John Woollett and team completed a short ringing session at Stortons Gravel Pits and caught nearly forty birds which included 7 Reed Warblers, 2 Sedge Warblers, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 2 Blackcaps, 3 Garden Warblers, 3 Whitethroats and 2 Chiffchaffs.
Today and it was time for some more nest box monitoring on the Kelmarsh Estate, this time at Rabbithill Spinney and New Covert. Some additional mist-netting at the former site provided us with singles of Treecreeper, Marsh Tit and Blackcap. Six Crossbills flew over the wood flying strongly in a westerly direction at 9.15am and Spotted Flycatchers were present in both woods.
This afternoon visits to Blueberry Farm provided views of one or two pair(s) of Grey Partridge, a Hobby and scarce breeders Lesser Whitethroat and Meadow Pipit.
Regards
Neil M
