Goldfinch Control

The weather has turned, the last 3 days have been gale-force winds, showers sunny spells. I managed to get the net open in the garden yesterday afternoon for 3 hours.

19 Birds caught

8 Siskin  7 new 1 retrap
(81 Siskin now ringed in and around garden}

2 Blue Tit
3 House Sparrow

1 Chaffinch

5 Goldfinch  4 new 1 control

I sent Kev the ring number of the control to see if it was one belonging to the group.
Kev came back with news of it being ringed on the Calf of Man by Chris Sharpe on the 15 April this year
movement of 26 miles north.

Nice one
