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.

Goldfinch' spring movement

One of the recent recoveries from the BTO was for a male Goldfinch, ringed here in early Feb and controlled in County Tyrone in mid-April, a distance of c.435 kilometers after 73 days. This maybe the first, if not the second, recovery of the species in Tyrone. I'm well happy.
