A cold a foggy start to the Sunday session at Broomfield College. A large number of recaptures this week including the resident Great Spotted Woodpecker that we caught last year. Signs of breeding preparation and pairing up were noted in a few of our birds this week, so we dusted off our brood patch score sheets!
Holly attempted to catch some birds with her newly acquired spring traps. Unfortunately the traps proved rather empty, even as the Blackbirds mocked us from the hedgerows every net round. We are coming to the end of our winter site lifespan, whilst the search for the next best summer site continues!
