I was down at Linacre this morning, for the first time in a few weeks, ringing with 3 other members of Sorby Breck Ringing Group. We started at 7.15am, and in 4 hours, managed to catch and process 34 birds of 8 species (new/retraps); Dunnock 1/1, Goldfinch 5/0, Chaffinch 5/0, Bullfinch 1/0, Goldcrest 7/0, Wren 3/0, Blue Tit 3/3 and Great Tit 4/1.
It was quite quiet around the ringing site, but we did also record Nuthatch (heard), Grey Wagtail (2 flew over), Long-tailed Tit (a small flock flying around), Jay (2 heard) and Kestrel (1 seen flying, being mobbed by the local Carrion Crows and perched up in trees).
Welcome to my blog all about my birdwatching, wild bird ringing activities and moth recording at Linacre Reservoirs, Derbyshire; in Great Britain and abroad.
