Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

500

It almost passed me by, the 500th new bird at Fairmead. The ring was given to a 5F Brambling at 5.30 pm on Monday 21st. This intermediate target was achieved in 69 days - and I've not been able to ring all day every day. At present, it's about 8 new birds a day, with Goldfinches approaching the 200 mark.
