Throughout the morning there were hundreds of Wood Pigeon passing over head with some flocks of thrushes and a few Redwing were tempted down into the nets in the track ride.
The total was further increased by Goldcrest, Chiffchaff and some Long-tailed Tits that found the track nets as they worked their way along the vegetated banks of the spoil heaps. Goldcrest LJK045, a 3M, had only been ringed two days before so we anticipate that it was ringed at Queen Mary reservoir on Sunday, but we await confirmation.
