Hello
A short ringing session at Kelmarsh Hall this morning provided a modest catch of 34 birds, half of which were new. Highlights included two Goldcrests, a Chiffchaff and a re-trap Nuthatch which was first caught and ringed in 2011 (and re-trapped in the same location in both 2012 and 2014).
Other birds on-site included a pair of Raven and a pair of Grey Wagtails.
Two Barn Owls were showing extremely well on the outskirts of Scaldwell village first thing this morning, and a flock of at least a hundred Golden Plovers were in adjacent fields.
A visit to Pitsford Reservoir this afternoon was sufficient to locate two Kittiwakes off the sailing club and dam, a Green Sandpiper was still on the pool below the dam and a Raven was cruising about.
Regards
