The future of ringing at this site is uncertain, as the land has just been listed for sale. We made our final visit of the year (and potentially forever) to Skylarks, hoping to catch the last of the summer migrants. We managed to catch some Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Reed Warblers, but the rest were resident species. Three new Cetti’s Warblers also ended up in the net; pictured below is an adult male (left) and juvenile female (right).
Holly brought a rhubarb and custard pie, and Seth brought homemade chocolate cake. Both were delicious – it’s beginning to get like Bake Off!
Totals were: 14 Chiffchaffs, 13 Blackcaps, 3 Reed Warblers, 3 Cetti’s Warblers, 5 Blue Tits, 2 Wrens, 1 Great Tit, 1 Robin, and 1 Dunnock.
