51 birds were ringed in the evening, they included Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Longtailed Tit. 44 of them were Swallows as c500 came in to roost, there was only 1 adult, a male. My thanks to Dave Smith for his assistance.
Longtailed Tit BLX685 ringed here on 14/7/14 was retrapped with others. So this bird will be at least 5 years old. 6 Swifts were also feeding over the marsh at dusk and male and female Tawny Owl were calling.
This morning 22/8/19 Little Egret, Kingfisher, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Coal Tit and 5 Swift.
A male Southern Hawker was near the hide and a Painted Lady was on the wing.
