Ringing first thing in the east scrub,6:am-8:30am,1 40ft and 1 30ft net,weather,early morning cloud clearing,then clear and warm.Birds ringed-1 Garden Warbler,1 Lesser Whitethroat,4 Common Whitethroat,1 Blue Tit,2 Dunnock,1 Song Thrush and 4 Greenfinch.When I first arrived 20 Greenfinch left their roost site in the Hawthorns near the pylon.A Jay was photographed near the warden`s hut.
Later that morning Jeanette and I went for a walk on the Downs above Birling a Kestral and Hobby were seen.Later during the early evening a Sparrowhawk came high over the garden.
