Ringing at Linford Lakes

Hello

Kenny Cramer and team were mist netting at Linford Lakes, Milton Keynes today, processing some one hundred and fifty-one birds of twenty-one species, the majority of the birds being newly-ringed with many juveniles on the wing. Seventy tits and and forty-nine warblers ensured it was a good small bird day but a new Cuckoo was a welcome capture as was a juvenile Kingfisher and two Great Spotted Woodpeckers. A Starling and a Woodpigeon added more variety and among fourteen Reed Warblers was a stand-out bird which was a bird ringed as an adult on-site back in 2017 and not encountered since - this bird is at least seven years old!

Regards
