The first ringing session of the main season was very productive. A total of 61 birds were ringed. A tick went to Archie on the north east bank, who had his first Wintersett , juvenile Stonechat, (the first to be seen in this plumage, and only the 5th to be ringed here). Becky, on the south west corner, had her first Nuthatch, (only the 4th to be ringed here). Other birds ringed today included: Coal Tit, Treecreeper, Blackcap 14, Whitethroat 10 and Chiffchaff 7. After last years disastrous breeding season, it was most encouraging to see the good numbers of juveniles of a range of species.
Wintersett Res: Common Tern 2, Pheasant 1♀ + 1 fledged young.
Anglers CP: Curlew 15 W at 07.55hrs + 1 W over WRes. at 10.55. Yellow Wagtail 1, Teal 1♂, Goldeneye 1♀.
Also flying: Orange Tip 2 (Botany), Meadow Brown 1 MHLponds) + 1 WRes. and Longhorn Moth 1 ACP
