Regular readers of this blog may be startled to discover that I have worked out how to add other people's photos on my blog. Its only taken me eight years to figure it out!

Aside from impressive numbers of Goldfinches, there was a good showing by Whitethroats. Only one retrap, which may suggest that juveniles are well represented in the figures, while some adults may have dispersed already.

Thanks to Tony Kelly for sharing his data and pictures.
