July 25th

A very still morning gave us the chance to swap over to ring our Essex Farm site which gave up yet another healthy crop of recently fledged birds. 38 new birds ringed also included our first Willow Warbler heading south for the winter ! Generally we ringed the usual suspects bar a couple of Blue Tits, a species rather thin on the ground here.
