Ringing

These week good numbers of migrant birds continue to arrive and pass, but the species involved is changing all the time. Nightingales continue to pass and be trapped in good numbers since they first arrive a month ago, but many small warblers like Lesser Whitethroats, Chiffchaffs and Willow warblers have disappeared to be replaced by Reed Warblers, Spotted Flycatchers and Whitethroats.
Many locally breeding species are busy in their various breeding cycles with some like Crested Lark even ready for the next brood having successfully reared the first. To view the all recent project (in hand) Photos follow links in right column under Ringing project Photos
