I started the day by clearing more vegetation and overhanging branches from the net rides before the temperature started to creep upwards. Apart from that it was a fairly standard day’s ringing for July with 69 birds of 13 species trapped. New birds included: 7 Blackbird, 3 Blackcap, 7 Blue Tit, 1 Cetti’s Warbler, 19 Chiffchaff, 3 Dunnock, 1 Great spotted Woodpecker, 13 Reed Warbler, 2 Robin, 3 Sedge Warbler and 2 Wren.
