This Week

An awful week where ringing has been concerned, the wind has been to strong for anything

except Swan catching, me and Kev caught a few Mute swans around the island on Tuesday with a few Mallards. We saw a Kingfisher in Peel inner Harbour on Tuesday so for a few hours on Thursday i went back down to see if i could get a few shots . Kingfisher on the isle of Man are few and far between with the odd one in Ramsey,  the one at Peel was easier to find and a bit closer at times. While i was there i got a text ” Sabine’s Gull at Peel” so i flew off to the breakwater to see if i could get a glimpse. What a glimpse as well

A visit to the Whoosh site this morning before the wind got gale force, 14 New Goldfinch ringed and 10 new Linnets.  I stopped off at Ramsey and set the Gull trap

1  juv Herring Gull colour ringed as well.

Not bad for such a windy day
