01/08 - Fleet Pond

We had to make a midweek visit to complete the latest CES session at Fleet. Set up was nice a quick apart from missing pegs and bamboos at one of our rides which was frustrating. Luckily whoever had been in didn't visit any other rides nor did they find our spare bamboos. 

It was a fairly slow morning again ending with 22 birds including 5 retraps but this wasn't too bad given the bright conditions. It was also nice to get 9 new reed warblers including 6 juveniles.

Unexpected species of the morning arrived in the form of a juvenile tree creeper. Needless to say we don't catch many in the reedbeds (though there is mature woodland all along the reed edge).
