Despite the stiff breeze from the North East, Little Wood at Deepdale Farm was a good spot for ringing being a well sheltered location. Although some usual rides were too blowy, we still managed to get 6 nets up and completed on a catch of 29 birds, 18 new and 11 retrapped only two being from our own ring stock. We expect the other nine, some being juvenile Long-tailed Tits to be from the neighbouring site ringed by North Norfolk RG. We were pleased to get a couple of their oldish birds, Z574790 a Blue Tit ringed as a juvenile on 22nd June 2018 and HXH076 a Long-tailed Tit ringed 24th March 2016 and hatched in 2015 or before.
There are quite a lot of youngsters around now and we were particularly pleased with a young Yellowhammer and Coal Tit.
