First hirundine roost catch at Chelmarsh

Wednesday 25th July:

Linda, Dave and I decided to have a go having seen small flocks in the evenings. Three nets up on the new ride by the hide. Good numbers came in.

Total: 34 Swallow ( mainly juveniles ), 14 Sand Martin ( only 1 juvenile , unusually so in recent years when we normally catch young : adult nearly 10:1 ), 2 Reed Warbler, 2 Sedge Warbler, 1 Robin, 2 Blue Tit
