Broadwater GP - 10th December 2016

We haven't ringed at at this site for a while and were joined by MRB, WA and Margaret. We had a couple of nets up before the Redwings left the roost although few birds were caught early on.

 3M Coal Tit

 3M Bullfinch

3M Blackcap

We captured plenty of tits, several being retraps with a fairly high proportion of adult Blue Tits particularly. There were also singles of Coal Tit, Bullfinch and Blackcap.
