400TH Linnet Ringed

Up at the Point of Ayre this morning in sunshine and calm weather, while the south of the island was in chaos from snow.
 45 more Linnets caught today bringing the total for the year up to 400 not bad for a small patch of nyger seed in the middle of no where.

No retraps today and only 7 since i started 
Looking through the data amazingly sexes are quite evenly divided 
192 Males
208 Females



yesterday had a new visitor to my garden that had me confused for a while .
i noticed a bunting feeding with chaffinch's on the lawn at about 3pm the light was fading and i was trying to get a shot of it  through the window. It looked reed Bunting size and smaller than Chaffinch 
God i thought of all the possibilities trying to make it into a Little Bunting.  Rustic so on then after  zooming in on photos 
Yellow Hammer, funny growing up in Norfolk i used to see these birds all the time and never gave them a second look see one today and i am looking in books to id them .
Nice garden tick anyway
