Conservation day and roost catch at Chelmarsh

Sunday 13th November 2011:
More strimming from Joe; Denise and I removed more crack willow from the scrape.
Dave and James arrives and so plenty of nets then put up - 5 in the remaining portion of reed-bed alongside scrape, 2 on scrape, 4 over Baxters.
Again Sparrowhawk bounced, again flock of Starlings ( approx 300 birds ) roosted elsewhere.
Totals: 29 Reed Bunting ( again almost all fresh birds suggesting ongoing movements ), 4 Redwing , 2 Pied Wagtail, 5 Blackbird and 1 Goldcrest
