Another day of baby birds and recording the regulars. Two lapwing were notable, haven't recorded this species here in a while. The fourth juvenile Cetti's warbler paid us a visit, whether this is from a separate brood is unknown, and we'll only be able to theorize about how many breeding attempts there have been this year, unless more find their way to us this autumn. Wrens appear to have done well this year with another 4 fledglings ringed today, and freshly fledged dunnocks are a daily occurrence currently. Migrant warblers were represented by 2 juvenile chiffchaffs and a lesser whitethroat juv that has likely fledged locally. 


 Festoon lives on English Oak. Formerly scarce, it has turned up in seven of the last ten years.

Birds Ringed: Cetti's Warbler 1, Chiffchaff 1, Dunnock 2, Great Tit 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Wren 4.
