Well what a horrendous month that was, gale force winds Snow rain the full works.
Only 195 new birds ringed of 18 species in January.
Last year at this time we had ringed 400 and 31 species. OH well can not be helped it can only get better.
Highlight of the month a cracking 3CY Male Sparrowhawk ringed at Port Lewaigue.
The two feeder sites for Siskin are starting to pull the birds in with 46 new Siskin ringed this month.
The Whoosh site at the Point of Ayre has been deadly quite but the wind has not helped as you can not put the the nyger seed down as it just blows away.
The Little whoosh net in the garden has caught 8 Blackbirds and 3 Song Thrush some of the Blackbirds showing characteristics of northern European birds with bigger wings and weight.
Hopefully February will bring us some better weather. Got some gull rings made up for the up and coming season as the weather was so bad, it will be here before we know it.
