A useful weekend at the Swannery until the wind picked this morning which put a stop to things. However the visiting ringer was not disappointed. Saturday afternoon saw 40 birds trapped and ringed including a late Grasshopper Warbler. I have had Grass Snake, Water Vole, Dragonflies and Hornets in the mist net but this morning never one of these before from the top shelf

Shortly afterwards the likely culprit was trapped and ringed

| Kingfisher |
A flurry of Robins occured on Saturday along with the tail end of the tit flock towards the end of the session. Chiffchaffs featured mostly though.
Two heavy Sedge Warblers were also trapped- surely some of the last for this year now. They were both very heavy and had fat score 60. Next stop for them Etang de Trunvel!
