This turned out to be a very quiet session indeed, as quoted by Derek "April and may are usually quiet", and unfortunately I arrived after the first haul of starling and annoyingly a male blackcap. Good news was the 100th House Sparrow ( drum roll please ), but sadly it escaped the hands of Derek before posing for me. A lovely little chiffchaff made up for that after though.
The moth trap had been placed out the night before and unlike the bird ringing was very productive with 6 different species and a total of 76 moths.The best one turning out to be a Double striped pug, but the looker surely had to go to the Herald.
