Ringing

Have been away - and on my return had my laptop stolen with a good number of new images on it - so we are a little short on photographs at the moment.

But for Brendan its been a hectic few weeks with over 300 birds caught - this is a lot when you consider we can only do a couple of sessions a week often short ones after work and it gets dark here daily around sixish -

Some remarkable catches though 90 Pale rock sparrows over a dozen Cinereous Buntings, two Scops Owls, six Rollers not to mention the Ortolan Buntings Wheatears Nightingales etc - to name just a few of the species trapped. We also trapped our first Olivacous Warbler of the season - a retrap from our efforts last year -
