A farm in North Norfolk - 10th February 2024

 W e continue to get out whenever possible in between the rain and gusty conditions. Today we were joined by OHK for some farmland ringing. The catch comprised of 34 new birds with Reed Bunting the leading species, two Yellowhammers, a few Robins, Blue Tits, Dunnocks and Long-tailed Tits and a control Reed Bunting.

As usual there were several skeins of Pink-footed Goose overhead. A Woodcock flushed from a wooded area.
