This year we had a ringing demonstration followed by a stand at the main event. As usual we were worried that we'd have many birds for the visitors to see at the demo, but 14 of a range of species made for a good visitor experience.
The two families enjoyed seeing Robins, Dunnocks, Blackcaps, Common and Lesser Whitethroat and a rather unexpected Wood Pigeon.
The gentleman that released the last bird was surprised by the strength of the wing flaps and subsequent take off!
On then to the stand with information about Sculthorpe Moor and our general ringing activities.
