My first ringing at WCP since September was aimmed at clearing the rides and perhaps catching some very late Reed or Sedge Warblers. Well you don't know unless you try! Once the rides were clear and it was light enough to see,( I got there at 7am, and it was still dark!) I put Reed and Sedge Warbler on the tape lures and bingo, I caught two CETWA. Both were males and one was an adult as I was able to see that it did not have tongue spots.
Ken Goodrich was with me at the time and he was able to confirm that while these two birds were in the net, there were two other males calling.
I also caught 6 LESRE out of a meagre total of 13 birds.
Hi Andy,I think there might be up to eight birds now in the Watermead CP complex!
