A Tale of 6 Cetti's.
6 male Cetti's Warblers were confirmed in the area today. Three of the Wintersett Res birds, boathouse reeds, ruin area and the west bank, were all behaving as usual. Two male Cetti's were caught on the north east bank of WRes, by Archie, this morning. One was an unringed male and the other was a retrap, having been ringed as an adult on 06.07.16 on the west bank WRes. At that time it was thought to be the south east corner,WRes. bird that moved to the north bank of Cold Hiendley Res. during the 2016 breeding season. A new male Cetti's Warbler has appeared in the south west corner of Anglers CP and was singing this morning and again this afternoon.
