Brrr…it’s cold

Today I wrapped up warm and went out ringing down Otley Gravel Pits with Andy from Wharfedale and Calderdale Wild Bird Ringing. We ringed Blue Tit, Dunnock, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Robin, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Treecreeper and Kingfisher.

Andy also showed me where he had trapped Water Rail in previous years and to our surprise we got to see one there today – we may try and trap it in the next few days.
