29/11 Greenham Common

Location: Greenham Common Western Enclosure
Session: 29-Nov-2017 07:40 to 10:15hrs
Headlines: A short visit to the enclosure resulted in just four birds. As expected not much activity in and around the area. A matching visit last year produced six including four Goldcrest; one captured this session with another seen out in the gorse scrub. We had two Reed Buntings but one escaped as we approached the net. Bit cold and breezy really.
Weather: Cold breezy, sunny clouding over later
Present: JL, IW
Nets: 48mteres in three rides of 18m, 18, 12m up from 08:00 to 10:00hrs
Lure (audio): Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, Firecrest, Yellow-browed Warbler, Siskin, Redpoll intermittently
