CES Visit 8 21/07/2018

Visit 7 + 8 as in the past heralds most adults that we're catching starting to go through post breeding moult, we notice that visit 8 produces the majority of species starting to moult. This session we had Song Thrush, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit all going through post breeding moult.


With 40 birds caught, this visit it kept us slightly busier than previous sessions with some moult scoring taking place!
