Elton Park Farm - Saturday 20 April

It was a pleasant enough morning at this interesting site and the nets were well sheltered from the cool northerly breeze. On our arrival, good numbers of Willow Warblers could be heard in the short rotation willow coppice, though this is some distance from the ringing site which turned out to be rather quiet. The flocks of finches and buntings were not in evidence, although some had been reported the previous day and we had to be happy with just a dozen birds, including Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, a Reed Bunting and 2 Yellowhammer.
