Today was a continuation of a rather quite period at the Bay.The highlights being a Little Stint on the scrape,a fly over Raven and small numbers of continental Blackbirds and Song Thrushes, a few of which were trapped.Birds ringed - Blackbird 3,Song Thrush 3,Robin 2,Lesser Redpoll 4,G S Woodpecker 1,Greenfinch 1,House Sparrow 2,Blackcap 1 and Chaffinch 3.

The Curlew are part of a flock that frequent the fields on the edge of the Study centre.

The trapped Blackcap had a low weight,so may have been a wintering bird entering the country.
