Back in the very wintery UK and back to erecting nets everytime we run a ringing session. With a little gentle encouragement MRB and Margaret agreed to meet up for a catch up and hopefully to ring a few birds. We arranged a meet time of 7am but were disappointed by how light it was by that stage, no chance of targetting Redwings leaving roost. It's surprising how much difference the latitude plus time difference makes as we were used to taking the first round at 8am while the light was still quite dim.
We had 5 nets up and captured mainly tits with a few Goldcrests. A Jay was the least often caught species.
