Back down to earth

Last few days been out checking the Gull Colonies at the gravel pits and the tip 2 new Herring Gull Chicks ringed and colour ringed. And a bird we had just metal ringed as we ran out of Darvics last visit  we recaught and added a colour ring, all the Gulls are now flying and will soon be moving off.
Also another 20 Sand Martins caught 19 new birds and 1 re trap from last year.
Today the first 3 hours were spent at Close Sartfield

Only 6 Birds ringed

Song Thrush
Willow Warbler
Blackcap
Blue Tit
Gt Tit
Treecreeper

Mark is back over on holiday and came out with me today we had a walk down the lane from Close Sartfield. There is a garden there with a fantastic feeding station so we knocked on the door and asked
 if we could ring. The owners a Mr Mrs Colvin said yes. 1 40FT net and 2 hours later we had caught 81 birds

7 re traps the rest new

Mainly Tits, Blue, Gt and Coal with a good number off Chaffinch
Siskin
Goldfinch
Tree Sparrow
and
Blackbird



Hopefully we will ring here once a month from now on
