A very mixed week with hours spent at Deer Hill on Wednesday with only 3 Twite seen and none on feeding station. Friday i spent at Elland Gravel Pits with 3 more Chiffchaff ringed and that was it no sign of Whitethroats or Garden Warblers yet. Saturday didnt bother as wind was so bad decided to go see the White-fronted Goose at Lumbutts. Today went to ringstone edge to get me a few more Linnets before they all move on to breeding grounds. And would you believe it a flock of 20+ Twite turned up with them . A good end to a slow week with 10 Twite 6 new birds and 4 controls 3 from Deer Hill 1 from Lighthazzels{whiteholme}. Also Greenfinches Goldfinches and more Linnets . 46 Linnets Ringed so Far at Ringstone edge reservoir and 1 Control.
