Bird Ringing

Sunday, December 30th 2018

The mist nets were raised and throughout this morning a steady stream of birds were returned to the ringing room. 

A Great Tit ringed in the nest box in Stonecutters Wood, next to Foxglove, was retrapped.  There were several Coal Tits newly ringed, as well as more Blue Tits.  Several Long-tailed Tits were retrapped and were over 2 years old.

Other species processed included Dunnock, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Treecreeeper and Bullfinch.

Whilst out on a net round a wasp was found crossing the road!

Thank you to everyone who helped today.
