A great couple of mornings this week up at the woosh net site with 104 new Linnets being ringed.
it will be a year ago tomorrow i started the woosh net sites up at the Point of Ayre, the reason for setting up a woosh site was to try and catch the winter flock of Linnets we always saw. Thinking the number to be around maybe 100 to 200.
Another 39 Linnets ringed today bringing the total to
778 New Linnets ringed in a year with only
40 recaptures
and 1 controlled bird to Rossal Point Lancashire
and still they come, as i packed up this aft some unringed birds were still landing on the nyger
The Linnet is a Red Listed Bird
this means

Kev got some great news off Raymond Duncan up in Aberdeen this week.
One of our colour ringed Cormorants Z6H had been seen on the Harbour wall there.
A great Movement of some 215 Miles, that's if it flew in a straight line ?
