A very modest catch today in windy and sunny conditions, though it did take longer than usual to put up the nets because just as we reached the last one, the first pole in the line snapped in half, collapsing the whole line. It took a while to get the nets back up and free of twigs and alder cones...
Still, we processed a total of 18 birds. The highlight was catching 4 Treecreepers together, which meant we could compare the primary coverts and we were surprised to see that they were all different!
We tried tape lures for Nuthatch, Goldcrest and Siskin, but those were unsuccessful. We caught a few Chiffchaffs early on, then a mix of Great Tit, Dunnock, Wren and Robin.
