March/April ringing

The end of the winter is usually a quiet period for ringing (as we concentrate on finishing habitat management of our CES area). Despite this, Andy continued to ring at the Pennorth feeders following completion of the the WRP sessions. He ringed on three dates, all with comparable capture totals. On 6 March - 12 + (9), 10 March - 12 + (5), and 20 April - 11 + (5). The combined mix of species was Great Spotted Woodpecker (1), Blackbird 1, Robin (1), Dunnock 2, Blue Tit 10 + (10), Great Tit 1 + (3), Coal Tit (1), Long Tailed Tit 1, House Sparrow 6 + (1), Chaffinch 6, Greenfinch 4 + (2), and Siskin 4.
