Thursday 15th October 2015

With the settled weather continuing, (high pressure and an easterly airflow) another session at Pembrey LNR.

I heard Redwing flying over on Wednesday evening so it seemed the obvious thing to do, play the tape and see what happened.


Redwing, the first of the Autumn
I caught two Redwing, an adult and a juvenile, a great result I hope there's more to come...


I also caught a "control" Reed Bunting, this is a bird ringed by another ringer at a different site, as it happens the bird was ringed on 23rd September 2015 at Oxwich NNR.


Reed Bunting ♂
All in all a steady three hour session with a total of 20 birds caught.
