On Monday I had a few hours down at Linacre ringing the first Blue and Great Tit chicks of 2023. In total, I ringed 11 broods; 6 Blue Tits (12, 5, 7, 6, 9, 7 and 11) and 3 Great Tits (4, 6, 5 and 11). I also had an hour there today, when I ringed another 5 broods; 3 Great Tits (6, 7 and 7) and 2 Blue Tits (6 and 6).
There are still a few more boxes to ring, including a brood of 5 Pied Flycatchers.
Walking around, I also spotted this beautiful male Mandarin Duck and a brood of 13 Mallard ducklings.
