First Redwing sessions

Jerry waited until the wind and drizzle had passed on Sat 12 Sept before he tried a late afternoon session, and had a catch of just 3 + (1) - mainly Blue Tits.  

On Sun, Gareth had a catch of 9 + (4), and short visits were then fitted in daily as the periods of rain and strong winds allowed.

On Mon Jerry did a morning session with 10 + (5), and a "roost" visit on Tues with 8 + (1).  

Jeremy did an afternoon/roost session on Wed with 13 + (0), then Jerry and Andy had a late morning/early afternoon session on Thurs - after a very slow start the session ended with 12 + (7).  

In total, the catches comprised:

1 Woopi, 

1 + (2) Wren, 

1 Dunno, 

3 Blaca, 

3 Goldc, 

14 Redwi, 

2 Sonth,
