Hello
Today's ringing session at Brixworth Treatment Works provided some 104 captures of 19 species made up of 77 new birds and 27 re-traps. The most common bird caught was the House Martin with forty new birds and three re-traps (two from 2014). The catch also included five Swallows, a couple of Starlings, two Yellowhammers, a Whitethroat, fourteen Pied Wagtails, two re-trap Yellow Wagtails (one from 2015), a Reed Bunting and three re-trap Great Spotted Woodpeckers.
Eleanor watched a Barn Owl and two singing Grasshopper Warblers at Blueberry Farm this evening and Cathy Ryden saw a Turtle Dove at Harrington Airfield.
Regards
