Limited Sand Martin roost catch at Chelmarsh

Thursday 9th April 2015:

Another lovely evening ( all week sunny and 15-20 degrees ), and some reports of Hirundines led us to set nets on iron path and in middle of right hand side reed bed. Joe, Dave, Stuart.

Approximately 30 Sand Martins came in as darkness grew, and in the end we ended up catching 8 Sand Martins, 1 Swallow, 1 Blackbird and a retrap Wren.

Other sightings: Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Curlew, LR-P, Buzzard, Chiffchaff singing, Teal and a noisy Cuckoo.
