This Week

Another 50 new Linnets caught on two visits to the woosh site this week the weather has been bad with wind and rain so the mist netting has been limited

I was out with Kev at the MSPCA this week where we ringed 22 Juv Herring Gulls

that had been brought in and were now ready for release.

Also Rooks, Jackdaws, Mallards and a Eider Duck.

The rest of the week ringing in my garden in between showers and down at Port Mooar

where 3 more Rock Pipits have been colour ringed.
