Hello
Today provided a short relief from the on-going wet and windy weather and a small team of ringers ran a ringing session in Scotland Wood on the Kelmarsh Estate.
One hundred and eleven birds were processed made up of a Woodcock, two Blackbirds, three Nuthatches, three Dunnocks, a Robin, twenty-six Great Tits, thirty-two Blue Tits, four Marsh Tits, nineteen Coal Tits, three Long-tailed Tits, two Treecreepers, nine Goldcrests, three Siskins and three Bullfinches.
All three Siskins were males and one of them was bearing a ring and ringed elsewhere. The Woodcock was a bird hatched this year, probably one of a reasonable number in this wet woodland. Among the more common birds were several quite aged individuals of Dunnock, Coal Tit and Great Tit.
A Great White Egret. a Red-crested Pochard, a female Brambling and three Snipe were present at Summer Leys today.
Regards
