Super Saturday!

If the Olympics can have a Super Saturday so can I! Saturday's ringing session in Sheffield was great with 65 bird ringed (16 by me), a ringing tick and a new bird for the site, in the form of a Linnet, and I also extracted birds from the nets for my first time - 2 House Sparrows.

Linnet

Other birds ringed today by me were: Blackcap (adult female), Nuthatch (1 juvenile), Dunnock (2 juveniles; 1 new and 1 retrap), Long-tailed Tit ( 1 juvenile), House Sparrow (3 juveniles), Blackbird ( 1 juvenile), Great Tit (1 retrap), Blue Tit (2 juveniles), Goldfinch (2 juveniles) and a Greenfinch (1 juvemile male).
