Thorns CES v.11 - 9th August


What a day! - more like times of old! 14 species, 58 new birds and 15 re-traps made 73 birds in all, with two-thirds of them caught in the second half of the session. A 4th Green Woody for the site this year! Really good numbers of Whitethroat (the site has always had a high breeding population), Blackcap, Blue Tit youngsters (the boxes are solely occupied by Gt. Tits) and Bullfinch (another site speciality).

The catch consisted of: Grewo 1 , Wren (3) , Dunno 2 , Robin 5 , White 11 (1), Garwa 1 (1), Blaca 7 (1), Chiff 2 , Lotti 3 (5), Bluti 12 , Greti 2 , Treec 1 , Chaff 5 (1), Bullf 6 (2).

Two trainers and 3 ringers made up the crew today. Flyovers included a Peregrine and a Yellow Wagtail.
