Starling week!


102 birds handled since coming back from the Lake District on Tuesday. 100 of these are new birds and 2 were recaps. The majority of the new birds are Starlings, as a number of the nearby houses held breeding pairs and they fledged their young this week.

Also ringed -
brood of 3 Goldfinch
brood of 4 Reed Bunting + one 1J
brood of 8 Great Tit + 1 adult.
7 Blackbirds (brood of 5 + two 3j's)
brood of 4 Magpie and a brood of 2 Wood pigeon.

Totals from 27th - 31st

Starling - 70 new +1 recap
Goldfinch - 3
Reed Bunting - 5
Great Tit - 9
Blackbird - 7 new + 1 recap
Magpie - 4
Wood Pigeon - 2 = 102.
