Landsort Diary 29th August 2016

Overnight rain extended into the early morning, so nets left closed until 0930 when the Standard round was opened, along with the 4 near the pond. All closed again at 1230.

 

Making the effort to open nets for just 3 hours was rewarded with the 2nd Grasshopper Warbler of the year, and a nice haul of species, including a very dark Willow Warbler
