The only coverage today was a ringing session in our usual Middleton western marsh sites which was a bit of a revelation, with the absence of the Subalpine Warbler replaced by a perfectly acceptable Plan B
Eight new for year Sedge Warblers were caught (three with last year's rings) and all seemingly wandering males or females without brood patches. Mid-month there was just one singing male Sedge Warbler in the trapping area! Three unringed male Whitethroat were also caught, unringed Dunnock, Goldfinch, Blackbird and Robin, the 'ahhh' factor a baby Robin and the pain factor a Great-spotted Woodpecker
Two singing male Cetti's Warblers in the central marsh - one intermittent and the other sounding like it was unpaired
