Ringing Scotland Wood

Hi

Neil Hasdell and I completed a short ringing session at Scotland Wood on the Kelmarsh Estate today.  Birds captured included 9 Goldcrests, a couple of Nuthatches and typical woodland birds.  Neil H suffered a slight occupational hazard injury (see below) as inflicted by a Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming on his hand!

Good numbers of Fieldfares swirled over the wood in the strong wind and a couple each of Siskin and redpoll sp lingered briefly.
