Hello
Kenny Cramer and team were ringing at Linford Lakes on the edge of Milton Keynes today where they enjoyed a bumper session with no less than twenty-two species of bird being processed. Kenny has perfected the art of catching Cuckoos and today a fine adult male hit the nets (there were two other flying around too). Glamour came in the form of three Kingfishers and the warblers hit town with twelve Blackcaps, six Garden Warblers, six Sedge Warblers, a Reed Warbler, a Chiffchaff, two Willow Warblers, a Common Whitethroat and two Cetti's Warblers also finding the mist nets.
Two Sand Martins were also caught and ringed (small numbers breed on-site) and a Great Spotted Woodpecker, two Woodpigeons, a Song Thrush and three Greenfinches further enhanced the session.
Other birds noted included a Raven, a Great White Egret, two Oystercatchers and two Common Terns whilst a Water Shrew and Grass Snake were top class items of wildlife.
The Naturetrek Provence in Spring tour has just concluded and images from this trip can be found on the Tab or Page 'Provence in Spring April 2023'.
Regards
Neil M
