At last some success with the Linnet flock at Chelmarsh

Sunday 29th January 2012:

Dave, Denise, James and I put up two hedge nets, a net besides the hide as finches about feeders, 3 in the main reed bed and 3 over Baxter's field.
A bit more clearing up, getting ready for reintroduction of duck trap and for burning some of the dried reed beds.
41 birds caught in total, made up of the following: 19 Reed Bunting, 2 Dunnock, 1 G-S Woodpecker, 1 Lesser Redpoll, 4 Great Tit, 2 Greenfinch ( stunning green males ), 5 Blue Tits, 1 Fieldfare ( ringing tick for Denise ) and 6 Linnet lured in ...
Was a Bittern heard briefly ... ? Other birds seen - Teal, Sparrowhawk, Water Rail
