Chris had some friends staying this weekend Jeremy and Neome. Both of them ringers so this morning we decided to go down to Castletown and try for Rock Pipits. Yesterday the weather was great very calm , today we pulled into Castletown and a strong SW wind was waiting for us. After a coffee we decided to head back up North to Port Mooar which we thought being on the East would be out of the wind. As we got out the car we were met by an Easterly Wind ???
10 minutes later we were in Ramsey catching Mute Swans. Only 17 Mute Swans seen today in the harbour
2 Swans caught 1 a new bird and 1 a control with no colour ring so a colour ring added.
15 of these Swans now all ringed and showing colour rings 1 Swan still to ring and 1 Swan still needs a colour ring added
We decided to head in land to the Sulby garden site .
2 Hours later 54 birds caught
Gt Tit 16 new birds 3 retraps
Blue Tit 15 new 5 retraps
Coal Tits 4 new
Long tailed Tit 4
Robin 2 new
Chaffinch 2 new
