Attempt to net Sand Martins

Saturday 29th March 2014

Dave, Linda and me - a net up for Warblers and nets along side of scrape in attempt to catch any arriving / roosting hirundines. Approximately 20 or so Sand Martins came in, but sadly they evaded the net, perhaps largely due to lack of cover either side due to Starling roost having flattened just about everything.

Birds ringed: 4 Chiffchaff, 1 Reed Bunting

Good views of Curlew ( 9 in total on scrape ), and nice to hear Lapwing and Oystercatcher.
