Last of the November birds

Hello

Chris Payne and Sam Betts were ringing at Bradden today, catching 85 birds made up of 39 Blue Tits, 15 Great Tits, 2 Coal Tits, a Long-tailed Tit, 5 Chaffinches, 15 Goldfinches, 3 Robins, 2 Wrens, a Dunnock, a Blackbird and a Song Thrush. Interestingly a Hawfinch sat in the trees above them but elected not to enter the nets, at least not today!
