Colour-ringed Willow Tits

Some people are already aware of this but as part of the "Back from the Brink" Project Willow Tits are being colour-ringed at three sites in Barnsley at Carlton Marsh (Cliff Gorman), Old Moor (Dave Waddington) and Worsbrough Res (Geoff Carr). This is being coordinated by Vivian Hartwell and Paul Bellamy (RSPB) and up today seven birds have been colour-ringed. This will continue next year up to the end of March and will also include some individuals fitted with radio tags.
Anyone seeing colour-ringed Willow Tits to send details to willowtit.bftb@gmail.com please with details of site and exact location.
Thanks and Happy New Year.
