Another great morning ringing saw our first Garden Warbler of the autumn, first juvenile Long-tailed Tit of the year and a magnificent female Sparrowhawk all caught around Essex Farm. Willow Warblers were again prominent with 49 new birds, including our first  ‘control’ of the reverse migration, a Willow Warbler with a UK ring. A total of 105 birds (84 new) of 18 species were processed -see ringing totals page.
