August 2nd (Sandwich Bay)

I spent the morning ringing.The majority of birds we caught were local youngsters,which included  two Green Woodpeckers.About fifteen Willow Warblers though.were clearly not local and were on the move.
The nets were taken down around mid-day.After which I went and had a look at Restharrow scrape.
