Sunday 23rd November 2014 :
Following Linda's discovery of a Starling roost last week, Dave, Joe, Linda and I put up 6 nets ( 2 on iron path and 4 in middle of main reed-bed and then kept fingers crossed as the Sparrowhawk looked for an evening meal as numbers built up to c 1000 birds.
Initially the birds landed behind the hide, either side of main path. But they moved and we ended up catching and ringing 79 Starling and 2 Reed Bunting.
Other birds seen / heard : 3+ Water Rail, 1 Kingfisher, 1 Curlew
