Catches during the morning's ringing included young individuals of
Sedge Warbler and
Reed Warbler. We caught a good number of
Blackcaps (a noticeable arrival), along with a few
Willow Warblers and
Whitethroats. Three
Tree Pipits and a
Yellow Wagtail flew over. What was presumably the same
Marsh Tit could be heard calling first thing. Other birds included six
Swallows,
Green and
Great Spotted Woodpeckers, three
Bullfinches, a
House Martin, a
Treecreeper, a
Yellowhammer and a
Buzzard.

Just before a meeting in the Rambler's Rest in the evening, I joined Linda in a short walk around the east flank of Banstead Woods, though we didn't get much other than a
Nuthatch, a
Goldcrest,
Green and
Great Spotted Woodpeckers,
Blackcap,
Chiffchaff and
Linnet.
