CES 5 - Kenfig 19/6/2015 - A Very Poor Result

Well let's start with the good news;
We caught a few juveniles
WILWA

ROBIN
and we caught a few adults
WHITE














We also had a new addition to the team, to improve the organisation and stop me having to fish my mobile out of my waders at regular intervals.
Possibly a Firecrest subspecies - Tempus metiri
Other notable sitings were;
Dark Green Fritillary - Argynnis aglaja
Black-tailed Skimmer - Orthetrum cancellatum

Lets end with the bad news;
Not much to say about the birds today - The total catch was small with only 11 birds caught all morning. The equivalent session last year caught 60. It could have been the weather, which after being completely windless at 06:00 was very blustery by 09:00. It would be good to think that the wind was the reason for the low numbers but we do have our doubts.

Total for the day:
