A round up of our bird ringing activities (all birds ringed under licence from the British Trust for Ornithology with schedule one authority where appropriate), birding trips and other wildlife sorties within the UK and whenever we get chance, elsewhere.

Stanwell Moor ringing site - 16 September 2010
An evening visit with Vic and Emma Inzani resulted in 30 birds being caught, including a Meadow Pipit re-trap from the 12/9. New birds were singles of Wren, Blackcap and Goldfinch; plus 15 Swallows at roost and Meadow Pipits continuing with a further 11 caught in less than favourable conditions due to the wind making the nets in the open to bellow causing many just to bounce out.
