Last weekend, 12 of the county's ringers (this includes 7 trainees) managed to cover the 3 CES sites plus another major site and a garden. In total, they caught 228 birds of 26 species, of which 39 were re-traps. The greater proportion of the new birds were juveniles, as you would expect at this time of year. Well done to all.
For those interested, here are the totals (retraps in brackets):
Wood Pigeon 1, Green Woodpecker 1, Wren 7 (4), Dunnock 6 (4), Robin 7 (2), Blackbird 5 (2), Song Thrush 1 (1), Sedge W. 11, Reed W. 35 (3), Lesser 'throat 1, Whitethroat 16 (2), Garden W. 7 (1), Blackcap 16 (2), Chiff 6, Willow W. 1, LTT 8 (6), Blue T. 24 (9), Great T. 5 (1), Treecreeper 3, Jay 1, House Sparrow 3 (2), Chaffinch 6 (1), Greenfinch 3, Goldfinch 1, Bullfinch 6 (2), Reed Bunting 3.
