With the fine weather meaning we can ring regularly the numbers of these two species caught has increased steadily.
To date we have caught 25 adult male Bearded Tits this compares with 27 in the whole season through to November in 2009. However we have only caught 8 adult males (compared with 18 in 2009. So the excess of males continues.
Young birds are starting to flock and to date we have caught 29 juveniles.
To date we have caught 113 adult Reed Warblers and with 6 weeks or so of the season to go yet this compares well with the 166 caught last year. Juveniles are now appearing in numbers a few days earlier than in 2009.
