A good end to the week with 60 birds caught at the woosh net site at the Point of Ayre today .
58 New birds and 2 retraps
33 Meadow Pipits
23 Goldfinch
4 Linnets
1 retrap Linnet first caught on 16/09/2011
1 retrap Goldfinch first caught on 21/08/2011
The wind has been to strong all week for mist nets so i persevered with the woosh net and the MP3 for Meadow Pipits.
111 in 4 mornings i am quite pleased with, we use to catch that in a day back in Yorkshire.
Different sites different migration routes, i know when we use to ring at Kex Gill in Yorkshire
the Meadow Pipits were constant all morning, with hundreds flying through
Where as here i am getting only 3 and 4 every half hour or so.
