The Last two mornings i have spent at our two ringing sites for Twite. Flyflats and Deer Hill. Wednesday morning i set up at Flyflats and had 20 Twite coming into seed . The only problem was the seed they were coming into wasn't where the woosh net was . The wind over the last few weeks has blown the seed all over the shop , they were feeding 10 ft from the net on the smallest bit of seed . I think they have sussed me out. 4 Twite caught 3 new birds 1 retrap.
Deer Hill this morning was a different tale 40 birds caught 24 new birds and retraps from Cant Clough, Lighthazzels, and a control from Walberswick, Suffolk an individually ringed bird with a light green ring over metal on its right leg.
