Out this morning to the
DWT's Avenue Washlands with the guys from the
Sorby Breck Group for a few hours. The ringing was quiet with just 14 birds ringed, but it was nice to be out again and we were treated to our first
Robin and
Great Tit pulli/juveniles of the year, a new ringing tick for the site,
Mistle Thrush, and to a great sighting when a
Great White Egret flew up out of the reedbeds!!! This is still a pretty uncommon bird here in Derbyshire, a first for the site, and my first county record, so I sent the record off to the
Derbyshire Ornithological Society.
Birds ringed today were:
Chiffchaff,
Blackcap,
Wren,
Goldfinch,
Mistle Thrush,
Great Tit,
Blue Tit and
Robin.
My totals were: (new/retrap)
Wren 0/1,
Robin 1/0 and
Blackcap 1/0.
juvenile Robin
