We have just finished our CES visit 9 this morning, with some interesting Reed Warbler numbers & history of 1 particular Reed Warbler!
61 Reed Warblers, our daily highest number, of the 50 new birds 41 juveniles- as expected.
A couple of the adults already showing visible signs of fat, getting ready to move having finished breeding.
One of these P216372,---------what a history!!
Ringed on 24/07/2000, as an adult by Tony Cross on the Teifi.-- we did actually catch this bird last night, 1 day off ten years to the day, at least an 11 year old bird!! Presumably one of our breeders, as caught on the 20/6 last year too.
Green Sandpiper flew over whilst ringing, also 2 Whimbrel, 3 Common Sandpipers, & 1 Dunlin were the interesting waders to be found at low tide.
Little Egrets up to 6 together now, only 1 adult.
