Our fourth Constant Effort Site visit for this year led to some encouraging results, with 34 birds
caught of 12 species – the busiest morning so far. Notable was a flock of Long Tailed Tits which were
caught. However, it was concerning that only one of eight was a juvenile – potentially a sign that
their breeding attempts could have been hindered by the weather. It will be interesting to monitor
the success of these over the next few months. Other birds caught were 2 Treecreepers, 3 Wrens, 2
Robins, 5 Reed Warblers, 3 Blue Tits, 1 Great Tit, 4 Blackcaps, 2 Dunnocks, 1 Blackbird, 1 Cetti’s
Warbler and 2 Reed Buntings. Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Cuckoo were all heard again, but did
not find the net.
