We spotted an easing of the westerly winds to do a ringing session at the feeder site. As expected the morning was dominated by tits with a few Robins, two Brambling, some Goldfinch and singles of Blackbird, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Dunnock (already showing preparedness for breeding with a brood patch clearly defined (BP2)) to complete the record sheet. Two Woodlark singing directly overhead were quite unexpected.
Blue tit
Adult male and 1st winter female Brambling.
A good demonstration of difference in feather quality between renewed adult and unmoulted post juvenile feathers, with the adult bird's feather condition looking more lustrous and robust.
