Avoiding a Triathlon event at Skylarks, we met at Calverton Golf Club this morning on a bright
and breezy day. Not ideal conditions for our rides at the Golf Club, which are pretty exposed.
But we still managed a solid catch of 40 birds, mostly young warblers with 4 adult retraps.
Following on from Mick P’s post below, we also had a Whitethroat that appeared to be
arresting/suspending its moult, though it did have one primary still in pin (see photo).
We talked about the possibilities of using traps in the garden while it’s too windy to use mist
nets, and Josh shared a delicious homemade chocolate cake.
