Ringing

Its been rather hectic these last few days with a sudden rush of migrants - although it has to be said somethings are still late coming through for instance we seem to be a bit short on Willow Warblers infact Warblers in general. Brendan also mentioned that many of the birds are not carrying any fat in fact many are a little on the thin side - just why is hard to state but the weather has been unseasonal and might be the reason why the birds are late this year as well as having some impact on them as they move north against strong winds.
