New feeding station.

9 days ago I started a new feeding station on farmland near Atherton. I placed two peanut feeders up and two bird tables and started feeding sunflower hearts. It seems the tits have found this feeding area, with 28 being caught on Tuesday (23/09/2009). Also caught - 2 Blackbird, 1 Robin & 5 Chaffinch.

Blackbird - 2
Chaffinch - 5
Willow Tit - 2
Great Tit - 11
Blue Tit - 11
Long Tailed Tit - 4

  1. Controlling a Meadow Pipit indeed - out of THREE caught!!! More seriously, well done and any chance of the ring number as it might be one of ours (we dont control any!).
    Please use Pmrsh123@aol.com for any Lancs ringing recovery details or any other communication. Thanks. Do check any Grey Wags for colour rings - we've not done too badly this autumn (57), despite missing some good mornings. See LDBWS site for GWE details (also seen on Ribble)
