With high pressure now in charge we went out for a spot of Swallow roost ringing. The recent dry conditions and a lack of standing water meant a number of birds choose to visit our pond for their evening tipple, so somewhat unexpectedly we ended up ringing 14 species, this included a House Sparrow ringing tick for me and younger David.
173 New birds – Reed Bunting 5, Sand Martin 14, Dunnock 1, Great Tit 1, House Martin 2, Yellow Hammer 1, Tree Sparrow 1, Whitethroat 2, Reed Warbler 1, Sedge Warbler, Wren 1, Swallow 131, House Sparrow 9, Pied Wagtail 3.
