Ringing news

The ringers attended yesterday and caught 61 birds, including 13 retraps. They were pretty pleased with their efforts, catching two Stonechats (their first and second ever) and two Snipe (second and third ever).

The full list was:

Snipe 2
Great Spotted Woodpecker 1
Blue Tit 27 (inc 11 retraps)
Great Tit 9 (inc 1 retrap)
Long-tailed Tit 13
Robin 2 (inc 1 retrap)
Stonechat 2
Meadow Pipit 4
Reed Bunting 1

My own birding today lasted as long as it took me to discover on arrival that I'd left my binoculars at home. I'll try to remember them tomorrow.

Friday night's moth trapping also drew a blank, despite a mild overnight temperature.
