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.

Now the good news

After 3 disasters in as many days, now some better news. I put a 6m net up ready for the morning and caught my first Willow Warbler of the year this evening.


It was a male on size with a very broad tail, indicating that it could probably be in its 3rd calendar year or even more. However, it was already bearing a ring - BXL944. Any takers out there?

    That's awesome. I wonder what the chances are of your first trochilus of the year being a control?!?!?
