Increase in Warblers and Sand Martins

The last day of summer and autumn birds are starting to appear. The first Great Spotted Woodpecker of the autumn turned up, as did the first Coal Tit. Two new Barred Warblers were trapped, seems like there are lots of them around at the moment. Another bumper catch of Sand Martins produced a decent total for the day. Nets open 06.30-15, netmeter hours approx. 2700. Playback on Garden Warbler, Barred Warbler and Grasshopper Warbler through the night, Tree Pipit, Meadow Pipit, Grey Wagtail, European Goldfinch and Sand Martin during the day.
