These two goldcrests (guess which is the boy) look a bit ruffled but they flew off strongly when released from the photo shoot. There were redpolls, garden and willow warblers both young and moulting adults with brood patches plus a blackbird, dunnock and blue tits but the star of the catch was the grasshopper warbler which has been teasing us with its reeling alongside the main track since April.
Tony and Andre also heard a kingfisher by the main pond which is great news and although the low water levels and absence of fish stocks at the moment made it a fleeting visit we have great hopes for the future.
