Ringing on 3rd Aug 2011

George was again over at the Observatory today catching a total of 79 birds made up of 75 New birds and just 4 Retraps!

  The mornings catch was made up thus (New/Retrap) - (2/0) Sand Martin, (66/2) Swallow, (0/1) Dunnock, (1/0) Sedge Warbler, (1/1) Whitethroat, (3/0) Willow Warbler, (1/0) Linnet and (1/0) Reed Bunting.

  A much improved total and ratio of New to Retraps. Hopefully these sort of catch's will continue through out August and beyond.
