The weather forecasts said no ringing this weekend but on the assumption they would get it wrong again we went to Broomfield again on Sunday. It was not ideal conditions, a little breezy but a lot less so than was forecast and the rain that was forecast didn’t arrive until we were packing up anyway.
A good catch again with 56 individuals, 70% of the birds having been ringed on previous visits. Another new species caught this week was Magpie.
We decided yesterday to invest in a new style of big feeder as the squirrels are emptying the wooded hoppers far too quickly. Hopefully these will be ready for us to put up next weekend.
Buzzards and a Peregrine were around.
