A sure sign of autumn
with many birds making
the most of available
berries
Thursday (8th) morning we visited Fleet Pond for the latest CES visit. Still relatively quiet with only just over 20 birds processed though it was good see the majority birds handled were juvenile. Highlight of two sedge warblers (which do not currently breed on the site).
Saturday (10th) was a bit of a change of scenery for us with a visit to some friends who ring on Salisbury Plain. A fantastic morning with 172 new birds ringed (plus retraps). A nice selection of warblers, nightingale, redstart, tree pipit and 7 whinchat.
Ideal finish too with a young male sparrowhawk being the final bird of the day.
