More bad weather meant we had not visited for two weeks when we held a ringing session on Sunday. There seemed to be a little more bird activity at the site and we had a slightly better catch the compared with the previous visit. All the small hanging feeders had been emptied within three days, so something is busy feeding there. We had a catch of 18 birds made up of: Dunnock 1, Robin 3, Redwing 1, Coal Tit 1, Blue Tit 7, Great Tit 4, Chaffinch 1.
Other birds around were the Ravens, a few Redwing and a Red Kite passed over quite low. After the fog of the previous few days the sun was out and it was quite warm, this no doubt was what prompted a Mistle Thrush and Blackbird to burst into full song.
