This was followed by the surprise of the morning when four Bearded Tits were found in the same net run. There had been no sounds heard from these birds all morning and certainly no typical 'pinging' as they moved about the reeds. Obviously they were in a stealth mode!
Also trapped were several Cetti's Warblers as they moved about the Swannery. October and November often sees good numbers of these birds as they move through the area.
A few more Chiffchaffs and Goldcrests were trapped and the last bird of the morning lived true to yesterdays suggestion.
A Siskin was extracted from the bottom shelf in the centre net of the withy bed- right above a small puddle of fresh water!
The weekend looks good so hopefully a few more calm mornings to follow. Whether they will live up to this morning remains to be seen!
