Sunday Ringing

A very cold dawn welcomed us to our ringing site and nets took a lot longer than usual but we eventually produced some very nice birds. Of the 500 Fieldfares which were in the area we caught one !!

A grand total of 46 new birds were caught with a respectable species tally of 16 which included a few Redwings and Blackbirds as well as two Siskins and a fine Kingfisher which was caught in a net as far from water as is possible on our site near feeder 1.
