Fire!!!

Despite the seemingly incessant south westerlies an early start in Paul's Burgh Castle garden produced a few more migrant thrushes with Redwing, Fieldfare and Blackbirds being caught. Winter was also represented by three Siskins caught together in the same net.

The highlight however, was finding the first Firecrest of the autumn in a net which had not caught a single other bird and was the last net to be opened. Interestingly the bird had not been heard calling so it came as a complete and very welcome surprise.
