29th August

Opening the mist nets made a productive start to the day, with the first Redstart of the autumn and a Sedge Warbler trapped, as well as a remarkable 4 Barred Warblers. Of the latter species, 2 had been ringed here mid-month, but the other 2 were new birds. The rest of the day was less eventful, producing just 2 Garden Warblers, 3 Willow Warblers and 14 Swifts of note.
