We went up to the golf club near Calverton for the first time this year. As a result, the net rides were very overgrown and required a lot of treading down. Despite the weather forecasts, patches of drizzle moved through mid-morning. The site seemed very quiet, with few birds moving around. Many net rounds were blank, and the totals from the morning only managed to reach 24, including 2 retraps. This is in stark contrast to the same time in 2015, when 151 birds were caught here. The highlight from the morning was a juvenile male Sparrowhawk.
Totals were: 8 Chiffchaffs, 3 Blackcaps, 1 Wren, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Dunnock, 1 Robin, 2 Great Tits, 6 Blue Tits, and 1 Sparrowhawk.
