Hello
Despite a great deal of effort, ringing operations today didn't attract many birds! The team at Linford Lakes faced plenty of flooding which affected tactics although the dozen birds caught did include two Chiffchaffs, a smart male Siskin, a Reed Bunting and a Goldcrest. Two Oystercatchers joined many other water birds taking advantage of the food provided by the floods.
The Stortons Pits team fared no better, the best of the ringing catch being two Chiffchaffs, two Reed Buntings, a Song Thrush and a Bullfinch. Three singing Cetti's Warblers clearly survived the harsh weather of last month.
Single Barn Owls were on show today near Hanging Houghton and Loddington.
Regards
Neil M
