Cetti's Warbler trapped in The Moat this morning
Pied Flycatcher from the trapping area this morning
Another relatively quiet morning at The Point, small numbers of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs, Common Whitethroats, Lesser Whitethroats, Blackcaps and Garden Warblers seen and trapped, 2 Whinchats, up to 4 Black Redstarts and 3 Wheatears around the Polish War Memorial, also a Brown Hare. On the reserve the Wryneck and Red-backed Shrike were still present but very elusive and not seen by me.
Last Thursday I and AJG met Renaud Flammant at Copt Point, Folkestone to read some Mediterranean Gull rings, it was a successful trip reading 50+ rings from c2,250 Mediterranean Gulls present, today I went back to read some more rings, unbelievably not a single Gull present on the rocks and just a few loafing on the sea, a complete waste of time, though there were a few Sylvia warblers in the scrub.
