S / SE winds again through
the day, quite light in the morning but gradually picking up through the day to
become rough by mid-afternoon with heavy rain moving in; opened the nets at
Holland first thing where it was fairly productive as birds around the garden
included a flock of 6 Tree Sparrows, my
first Sedge Warbler of the year giving brief snatches of song in
the bottom flax clumps, 5 Woodpigeons, 5 Collared Doves, 11 Siskins (one new
bird caught), a Dunnock, 3 Blackcaps and a Willow Warbler.
There were predictably fewer migrants around the
Hooking census route but they did include my first House Martin of the year over The
Links, 10 Sand Martins, 2 Chiffchaffs, a Blackcap, a Pink-footed Goose with the
Greylags and 120 Sanderling on The Links.
This Bonxie had been in the wars!
