Among the birds processed at the feeders was a retrap female Great Spotted Woodpecker. The Fringilla papillomavirus remains prevalent in the local Chaffinch population and we continue to release this species unringed. Occasionally it is noted in other species and about once a year we catch a Yellowhammer with symptoms. We can only hope that this does not become a more common sight.
