A Damp Squib

A day that started with such promise soon spiralled into a wet dull morning. We managed two net rounds before rain stopped play. 23 new birds were caght including the first Garden and Grasshopper Warblers. We also had a Turtle Dove singing from the wood behind the ringing lab. I called into the Army Camp on the way home and was rewarded with two Common Sandpipers making four year ticks for the day and me upto 184 for the year.

Moths were also a bit of a let down with only Streamer new for the year. The Comma pictured was taken yesterday in the sunshine.
