Hello
A ringing session at Harrington Airfield today provided 80 captures (60 new birds and 20 re-trapped birds) made up of 11 Blackbirds, 16 Redwings, 5 Yellowhammers, a Reed Bunting, a Meadow Pipit, 5 Robins, 9 Dunnocks, 2 Wrens, a Great Tit, 17 Blue Tits, 3 Goldcrests, 5 Chaffinches, 3 Lesser Redpolls and a Bullfinch. Further sessions are planned on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday this coming week...
Birds seen included up to 300 Golden Plovers, a Snipe, a male Peregrine, 2 Ravens, a Grey Wagtail, 2 Hawfinches, several more 'Redpolls' and Siskins and probably up to about 20 Bramblings. Hundreds of Redwings and Starlings moved through the site plus good numbers of Fieldfares, common finches and Lapwings.
Jacob went on to see a Hawfinch overflying Moulton Agricultural College early this afternoon and a Barn Owl was hunting in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton this evening.
Regards
