Some did....The first bird I extracted was wearing a Belgian ring. Chris ringing on the other side of the marsh, messaged with news of a French ringed Sedge Warbler. By 8am the wind picked up and we packed up at the Mallard nets, with 11 new and 1 control Sedge Warbler, 2 retrap Reed Buntings, one of which needed colour ringing for our RAS project ...
and a retrap Cetti's Warbler ringed in 2012.
Over the other side of the marsh, Chris caught 23 birds in the Pentood nets, including a second French ringed Sedge Warbler, 7 new Sedge Warblers, a retrap Cetti's Warbler, 5 Willow Warblers and also a retrap Reed Bunting needing colour rings. The highlight was a Grasshopper Warbler, the 28th for the group since 2009 but only the 4th Spring bird.
