CES V1 - Thorns

Sunday - a very productive first visit ... but no Nightingales seen or heard! Very good numbers of Whitethroats. Turtle Dove purring away and laughing at the nets - as usual!

Trainee versus Trainer ???

Today's tally was 33 new birds, plus 7 retraps from previous years, of a remarkable 13 species.
Wren 3/0, Dunno 4/2, Robin 1/0, Blabi 3/1, Sonth 1/0, Leswh 1/0, White 7/1, Garwa 1/0, Blaca 2/0, Chiff 3/0, Wilwa 2/1, Lotti 2/2, Chaff 3/0.

The "extreme gardening" over the winter seems to have done the trick.
