I trapped one more Reed Bunting in the garden this morning,which now makes 30 since the beginning of the New Year.I hear that Sandwich Bay has also had its best winter on record for the number of this species ringed.If any of these birds are recovered it will be interesting to know from where they came from,perhaps more birds than usual came in from northern Europe.Many of my birds though are probably quite local,it will be interesting later when I visit the marshes to see how many have rings.
The Nyjer seed feeder in the garden attracted 5 Goldfinch on February 23rd and on the 25th a male Blackcap was seen.
