Predominantly the forecast for this weekend was wet and/or windy. However, we decided we’d try and take advantage of the small weather window forecast for the morning – Dave, not convinced that the weather window would happen, decided to stay out till 2:30am at a party so was a little worse for wear at 6:00am when he looked out to see perfect ringing conditions – to his credit he was still first to arrive for ringing. We managed two net rounds before the wind and rain returned.
Once again the Tawny Owl from Thursday decided to put in appearance – Natasha who’d not seen an owl in the hand before was amazed by this.
64 New birds and (6) retraps – Tawny Owl (1), Blackbird 6(1), Redwing 7, Wren 3, Goldcrest 2, Treecreeper 1, Reed Bunting 1(1), Dunnock 1(2), Blue Tit 1, Chaffinch 3, Goldfinch 31, Tree Sparrow 7, Robin 1(1).
