British Trust for Ornithology: 27 May 2017

Gail the bird ringer(their legs, not their necks) set up three nets in the field opposite the village hall. Didn't use feeders or tape lures (latter forbidden in the breeding season), so relied on birds moving through the area.

Nets were set up among small trees so that birds flying between them would be trapped. In total caught 11 birds, all unringed: blue tit (3), great tit (3), bullfinch, chiffchaff, robin, willow warbler (2). Saw or heard great spotted woodpeckers, green woodpecker, garden warbler, blackcap, white throat, buzzard, sparrowhawk, garden warbler, wren, thrush, blackbird, chaffinch, redpoll.
