Sometimes it pays to get up early and as Dave opened the nets this morning our first bird flew in right behind him - It was a Tawny Owl. After this rare treat, it was mainly Blackcaps for the next few hours and by the time I left for work at 9:00 we'd already ringed 60 birds.
76 Birds ringed in total. Tawny Owl (1), Meadow Pipit (2), Wren (1), Robin (2), Blackbird (3), Song Thrush (6), Great Tit (3), Blue Tit (2), Sedge Warbler (2), Blackcap (22), Chiffchaff (12),
Goldfinch (11), Chaffinch (2), Bullfinch (3), Reed Bunting (4).
