 Due to heavy rain when I got up at 6:00, the nets were only opened at 9:00 when the rain subsided. The weather was much better the rest of the day, with the sun even coming out in the afternoon. There was a bit more variety in the nets today with a total of 31 birds caught (redstart 1, lesser redpoll 3, siskin 1, wren 2, robin 15, blackcap 8 and goldcrest 1). There was a lot of activity around with meadow pipits, robins and wagtails moving through. There continued to be movement of several sparrowhawks. Red Admiral butterflies migrating were also noted across the island.
Tomorrow is due to be sunny and warm, so will be interesting to see what birds are around. Regards, Meg
