What with rare birds to see and some email issues, I have overlooked the results of a trapping session which took place here on Fri 23rd October. This brief post will put that right.
Tony and Leigh caught 70 birds as follows:
Blue Tit 2 (1), Great Tit 5(1), Goldcrest 1, Wren 1, Blackbird 1, Fieldfare 2, Redwing 1, Dunnock 2 (2), Greenfinch 12, Lesser Redpoll 37, Goldfinch 5 (2), Reed Bunting 1
They also mentioned that a Great Tit they had ringed here on 24 June 2020 had been retrapped at Arrow Valley culvert on 30 Sept 2020 by the team who a month later caught the Red-flanked Bluetail.
I have also heard from them that one of their controlled Lesser Redpolls had been ringed on Cannock Chase earlier in October. Unfortunately I seem to have lost that original email and I can't remember the precise details.
