First ringing of the year at Chelmarsh !

Saturday 22nd February 2014

At last some respite from the wettest winter in 200 years or so ... and the chance to have a go at catching some of the Starling roost that has been reported. There was certainly evidence of big numbers given localised damage to the reeds.

In the end, Linda and SC saw no more than 50+ birds at dusk, but they were soon unsettled and made off due to a very active Sparrowhawk awaiting its supper.

Birds ringed: 3 Reed Bunting and 2 Long-tailed Tit

Hopefully the year ahead will be a little more productive !
