Ultimately, a drop in wind energy welcomed the primary appropriate day of the autumn to open up the Millcombe mist nets! Loads of juveniles on the wing and a gradual stream of younger Linnet coming all the way down to Millcombe stream stored the session ticking over by the morning. Of the 11 Willow Warbler trapped it was a close to 50:50 break up of grownup to younger age ratio. A Noticed Flycatcher feeding across the valley evaded the mist nets, in contrast to the grownup Sedge Warbler which was loitering across the Decrease Backyard. Full ringing totals from the morning’s session could be considered on our shiny new Trektellen web page (hyperlink beneath). Over time I plan to add historic Lundy ringing totals onto ‘Trek’, however for now this may stay extra of a winter season job.
