Waxham ringing - quality rather than quantity

With much thanks to the landowner we were granted permission to stay over camping at our ringing site at Waxham last night, which made things a lot easier than leaving Norwich at 3am and setting up in the dark. As it happened the evening & morning ringing didn't provide large numbers but the quality made it worthwhile. The 4 retrap Willow warblers (presumably from last spring though I haven't checked (could be autumn)) are also great as I'm informed they're are uncommon to get as retraps.

Pied Wagtail Catch (First PIEWAs for UEARG)

After discovering where the wagtails went to roost last night, we attempted to catch them as they left the roost this morning, but they left before we were prepared and we only caught 3. However we returned this evening and were more successful, catching 23 and a sparrowhawk.

PIEWA details:

Adult male - 5
Immature male - 6
Adult female - 3
Immature female - 12

It would have been a much larger catch if it weren't for the wind causing many to bounce and escape the net, oh and the sparrowhawk which flushed everything...
