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.

Garden - 13 June 2011
Ringing in the garden at present is just producing juvenile Blue and Great Tit, one after another, with no variation for some time now, so the female Chiff-chaff with a BP3 and carrying an egg on the 13th was a welcome surprising change, as an Warbler in the garden, let alone in the net is a rarity.. Definitely not nesting in our garden though there is a singing male in the adjacent small nature reserve.
