We managed a successful CES 3, with 109 birds caught, 50 retraps and 59 new. Included in the new birds were 3J (juveniles) of 8 species including Chiffchaff and Blackcap. Other highlights being 3 Lesser Whitethroats ringed over the last 2 sessions, including a female with brood patch, and we have 2/3 singing males within our site.
