Winter Sparrow

Nice Morning yesterday with 22 more Linnets ringed (273 ringed so far)  and a Young Male Stonechat up at 

The Point Of Ayre.

In the afternoon i set up in the garden 

6 Goldfinch   (133 ringed in garden in 2010)

3 Blue Tits  ( 59 ringed in garden in 2010)

2 House Sparrows (106 ringed in garden 2010)

2 Siskin (121 ringed in garden in 2010)

1 Chaffinch (54 ringed in garden in 2010)

1 Robin ( 11 ringed in garden in 2010) 

1 Gt Tit  (25 ringed in garden in 2010)

1 Coal Tit (16 ringed in garden in 2010)

This morning i was waiting in for a delivery so opened the nets again 

another 15 birds caught,   as i walked up the garden towards the net i got a flash of white on the head of one of the birds i thought Snow Bunting as i ran up the garden.

Then i saw a Partial albinism House Sparrow d'oh, 

nice looking winter Sparrow.
