Ringing Geese

Saturday, June 11th 2011

The bird ringers were busy again today, ringing somewhat larger birds than those caught yesterday! 66 Greylag goslings were ringed and a few Black-headed Gulls also. It was a fun morning and a worthwhile experience enjoyed by all - including the dogs! It was also the catalyst for another interesting opportunity we hope to exploit and tell you more about in the future!
