The fifth Constant Effort Site (CES) session took
place today. It turned out sunnier than the forecast but this was not a
problem. We caught a juvenile Whitethroat, the first of this species since
2011. We are catching predominately juvenile birds now including Chiffchaffs,
Robins, Wrens and the now regular long tailed tits. We had one juvenile
Goldcrest to add to the one last year.
