Garden - 5 Mar 2011

With the Siskin numbers building up as they often seem to in the garden during March we tend to try and make an effort to capitalise on the increased numbers as they can be reliable for controls and equally it is good to try and re-trap some old friends. Today's catch brought in new Siskin (10), Dunnock (1), Blue Tit (6) and Great Tit (1), plus 2 re-trap Siskin and one Blue Tit. One of the retrap Siskin was V791680, fist rung on 28/02/2008 when it was aged as a 6F then. Older females appear bright/greener than certainly 5s.
