Eventually, a drop in wind power welcomed the primary appropriate day of the fall to open up the Millcombe mist nets! A lot of juveniles at the wing and a gradual movement of younger Linnet coming all the way down to Millcombe movement stored the consultation ticking over in the course of the morning. Of the 11 Willow Warbler trapped it used to be a close to 50:50 cut up of grownup to younger age ration. A Noticed Flycatcher feeding across the valley refrained from the mist nets, in contrast to the grownup Sedge Warbler which used to be loitering across the Decrease Lawn. Complete ringing totals from the morning’s consultation may also be seen on our glossy new Trektellen web page (hyperlink underneath). Over the years I plan to add ancient Lundy ringing totals onto ‘Trek’, however for now this may stay extra of a iciness season job.
