Ladywell

The best catches during a morning ringing session were juveniles of Grey Wagtail and Coal Tit. Other birds noted included five House Martins, a Little Egret, two Treecreepers, a Sparrowhawk and several Reed Warblers.

A pleasant morning was spent ringing with John N and Sue W. Between net rounds we saw noted two Mediterranean Gulls overhead, two Peregrines, a Little Egret, two Cetti's Warblers, a Treecreeper and six Reed Warblers.

Walking out of the back door first thing, I was greeted by the bubbling of fly-over Whimbrel, a tidy garden tick. I joined the ringers at Ladywell for the morning where we had an enjoyable session featuring a single Sedge Warbler and a number of Reed Warblers. Two Shelducks were apparently a site first and other sightings included two Treecreepers, a Mistle Thrush, four Buzzards, a Red Kite, a Little Egret, two Cetti's Warblers, 12 Swifts and four House Martins.
