After the release of the Hume's Warbler I joined AJG in a stroll around the trapping area, apart from a few Blackbirds, Chaffinches and Tits and Goldcrests very little was seen or heard and when the rain started it was time for lunch.

The Cattle Egret reappeared this afternoon on the Boulderwall fields per MH.
