Met Up at Rishworth yesterday with Kane and set up for Twite. A beautiful sunny morning with up to 46 Twite seen. The birds were very flittish at first and would not settle on seed. After about 2 hours i moved my car and firing string back away from the catching area another 60ft. That seemed to work and within 10 minutes we had caught 15.
23 Twite caught with 11 new birds being colour ringed.
6 of Nick Wilkensons birds
and 5 retraps from september
ALSO
1 control from Deer Hill a 2007 bird, which was a nice surprise as
i have not seen any of these birds this year ?
and we ringed over 200 with Yellow/Blue Blue/Yellow .
also 1 female linnet ringed.
birds about
1 sparrow Hawk
1 Wheatear.
