The highlight maybe this Common Whitethroat, we don't record many on the site, and surprised by this female with a brood patch...and a control !! (L399822)
An odd coincidence... Paddy had a control Garden Warbler in Ty rhyg last week L399232..the same origins of ringing ?....but not Pembs ?

Reed Warbler R424229 -- may be of equal significance, an old local bird that pre-dates the Teifi RG, or another control?

131 birds caught this session. 84 new, including our 1st juvenile Cetti's of the year, 1 week later than last year, (more on the Cetti population another time, a decline?)
Our 1st juvenile Treecreeper of the year, c1 month earlier than normal, a sign of successful early breeding.
