I did my 2nd TTV for the Wayoh Res tetrad today. I did the first visit in November. I was surprised how many fewer birds I saw today compared with the first visit, I had 2 Chaffinch in the whole 2 hours today, no Greenfinch and just a single Goldfinch. 2 parties of Siskin totalling 30 were the only other representative of the finches. Where were they all?

Nice to hear about your Blackcap. Someone else has recorded one as a RR for the Wayoh tetrad.
