Holme Pierrepont, Sunday 5 Sept

Meisha, Duncan, David and I joined Gary at Holme Pierrepont this morning. We had a good morning finishing on 63 birds (49 new & 14 retrap). Of the migratory warblers we caught Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Reed Warbler and Chiffchaff. Other birds included Blue & Great Tits, Wren, Dunnock, Reed Bunting and a good catch of Long-tailed Tits. A couple of Bullfinches, one of which was a retrap from last week, were aged as 3JPs. Unfortunately the Spotted Flycatcher seen avoided our nets.
