Hello
A short ringing session at Pitsford Reservoir today (curtailed by the weather) provided 43 captures which included a Moorhen, a Fieldfare, 8 Blackbirds, 4 Robins, 5 Dunnocks, a Wren, 8 Blue Tits, 4 Great Tits, a Coal Tit, 3 Tree Sparrows, 2 Goldfinches, 3 Chaffinches and 2 Reed Buntings. Interestingly the Moorhen was originally ringed at the same place back in November 2011.
Eleanor visited Harrington Airfield and fed the birds today, 3 Bramblings joining the throng on the concrete track. Two Woodcock were flushed between the first and second bunkers.
Eleanor's purple patch with owls continued when she found two more Long-eared Owls at a private site today, and also saw her usual Barn Owl in the Brampton Valley below Hanging Houghton.
Regards
Neil M
