Hello
A second consecutive day of ringing at Harrington Airfield today provided 69 captures of fifteen species, 59 of them being new birds. An increase in the number of Linnets gathered in a post-breeding flock was at least a hundred birds strong.
Birds examined today were made up of three Blackbirds, thirteen Yellowhammers, two Greenfinches, four Dunnocks, a Great Tit, three Blue Tits, a Sedge Warbler, two Reed Warblers, three Blackcaps, fifteen Whitethroats, four Willow Warblers, a Reed Bunting, a Chaffinch, fourteen Linnets and two Goldfinches.
A Nuthatch was on-site today, a Turtle Dove was seen briefly and three Tree Sparrows flew south.
Regards
