Had one 40 foot net up between 1300-1430,ringed:Wren 1,Chaffinch 2,Blackcap 1 (male) and Reed Bunting 1 (male).
Also had a nice retrap of a female Reed Bunting, which was one of two of this species to be ringed in my garden this winter (20 02 09).Its pleasing to know it survived the attention of the local cats and Sparrowhawk,one of its kind in the garden this winter wasn`t so lucky (Sparrowhawk).
The last of this winters Reed Buntings to be seen in the garden was on March 19th.

Hi Alan.
ReplyDeleteIt must give you a lot of satisfaction retrapping your own birds, knowing that they are still going strong.Who do you trap birds for, yourself, or a organisation.
