I met John for some bird ringing in the Magic Garden this
morning. It was cold again despite the overnight cloud and there was little
sign of movement. Nonetheless a reasonable catch. The most interesting bird was
this female Blackcap which was carrying a French ring…
It will be interesting to get the details of where and when this
bird was ringed.
We also caught two Sedge Warblers…
A bird has been singing consistently from the Bog Area all
this week so there must be a chance of breeding this year.
Other summer migrants included just a single Willow Warbler,
four Blackcaps and two Whitethroats…
And also five Chiffchaffs including this one showing why you shouldn’t rely on leg
colour in identifying them..
