CES Visit 5 18/6/2017

Visit 5 produced our first Juvenile Treecreepers' of the season although we hadn't seen or heard any adults in our previous sessions we knew that they must be around as it seems we haven't failed on catching any in the last few years, it was Visit 5 in 2016 that we also caught our first Juv Treec, that day last year only produced the one, this year we caught 5 juv in this session, great to see that they've all survived our very wet June long enough to fledge. We also caught our first juvenile Coal Tit's of the year.  A returning Chiffchaff that was ringed as a Juvenile in June 2015 was the first re-capture of this bird, did we miss it in 2016 or did it breed somewhere else?
