This weekend we carried out our ninth visit. It was another additional visit and not part of the winter CES. The forecast was for rain but we went anyway and had no rain at all, but it was considerably milder than last weekend. This was probably the reason the catch was not as good. We caught 35 birds throughout the morning. Of these, 18 were retraps. Interestingly we did not catch any Robins after catching 11 in the cold conditions last weekend. We did catch a Great Spotted Woodpecker which is only the second individual we have had at the site. A Tawny Owl was heard calling again when we arrived on site and a Red Kite was spotted twice during the morning flying over.
