I went back to the Point of Ayre this morning looking for Wheatears from 2 hours spent none seen.
I drove down to the woosh net site and 15 Twite were feeding so i thought might as well set up and see what a can get. 9 birds in the first catch 3 Twite retraps from January and 1of the Machrihanish controls
i caught in December. 2 Linnet retraps 1 ringed in November 1 ringed in March and 3 new Linnets.
Chris from Manx Birdlife turned up to do his survey of the gravel pits, we had a quick chat and off he went.
When Chris returned i had just caught another 5 so he grabbed the pliers and processed the birds.
3 more new Linnets 1 retrap from December and another retrap Twite from January.
