This morning 10 Blackcaps, 1 Willow Warbler and a juv. Great Spotted Woodpecker were ringed.
Remind me not to try and photograph one again. Handling them to put a ring on etc isn't a problem, but with my camera in one hand and the bird in the other I had no protection as it switched to hammer drill mode! I just managed to take a couple of photos before I had to let go because of the excruciating pain as it tried to drill into my fingers and in particular the joints. A lovely bird though and the first ringed here since 2001.
