Busy morning

On Sunday the weather was good enough for a garden session and in just 4 hours just under 100 birds were handled.   This included 35 retraps and a control Greenfinch typically late in the morning (they never seem to be active early in the morning) and a good selection of species although too many Blue Tits!

The new birds included three with ticks - a Chaffinch and a Robin

and a cracking adult female Great Spotted Woodpecker
