Managed to get in a visit here with Mick P before the calm weather was forecast to break. We set just 2 pairs of 18m nets aiming to lure in Redpolls and Redwings using MP3s. From reports seen from other ringers this is turning into a good autumn for Redpoll. The first net round produced a few Redwing and tits, the second round some more Redwing and about 25 Redpoll, the next round forced us to turn off the MP3s and concentrate on processing! We ended on 101 birds including 10 Redwing and 68 Lesser Redpoll. Two of the latter were subsequent encounters, one from the same site last October and the other a control.
