Attenborough CES - Visit 3: Sunday 21 May

A poor catch today at Attenborough finished with a total of 17 birds, 13 of them retraps. The
highlight was a female Nuthatch that takes our total for the year up to 5, which is probably our
highest annual total in the last 20 years.

We also ringed 7 Blue Tit chicks in a nestbox, all were healthy and in good condition.
The weather was bright and breezy, with the water level still not going down by the main net
rides. Fingers crossed that the catch improves on subsequent visits.
