Wrong roost at Chelmarsh
Friday 18th April 2014:
Dave, Linda and I made a final attempt to catch any passing hirundines - but no roost materialised. A large ( 150+ ) Pied Wagtail roost went in over towards Baxter's.
Final plans were made for the summer's CES at Chelmarsh, so all was not lost.
Nice to hear first Sedge Warbler of the year, just in front of main hide.

Stonechat RAS - some good news from Clee Hill
Friday 18th April 2014:
Dave and Joe spent all day up on the hill. It seems that the early signs are positive after recent poor seasons. Already 20 nests found, with many birds on eggs and already two ( small ) broods have been ringed. This suggests birds are about three weeks ahead of the normal dates.

Interesting Chiffchaff in garden
Friday 18th April 2014
Going up to feed chickens and Bryn ( Kelpie dog ) flushed a Chiffchaff which clearly had a ring on its leg. Net up and before too long it was caught and identified as a bird ringed in August 2011, also in the garden, as a young bird.
Garden currently has Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Whitethroat singing.

A few days at Portland Bill Observatory
Linda and I spent four days ringing at Portland Bill earlier this week, hoping for some good birds migrating across the channel. Great set up and great people both for ringing and for birding generally. Early starts around the observatory gardens, but an easy and well-worked set of rides in excellent cover to pull in the passing birds.
Sadly the weather was against us on three of the four days, though on Monday 14th we had a sizeable fall of over 200 migrant warblers.
In the main we rung Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and Blackcap, but also had 2 Redstart, a first Whitethroat for the year, Pied Flycatcher, Goldfinch, Wren, Greenfinch, House Sparrow and a handful of Linnet.
Birding was great: Manx Shearwater, Gannet, Guillemot, Common Scoter, Little Owl, Peregrine, Kestrel, a passing Ring Ouzel, Rock Pipit, Wheatear, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Raven, Stonechat, Shag

Sand Martins caught at Chelmarsh
Saturday 5th April 2014
Just when Linda and I were giving up hope, a small and very active party of Sand Martins came into the scrape to feed some time after sunset. Of the 50+ birds thought to be flying around we caught 37 in the nets along the path to the hide. Of the 37, 4 were ringed as Chelmarsh birds, 3 from 2013 and 1 from 2011. Interestingly, two of the 2013 birds had been ringed together as juveniles on the same night last Autumn by Linda.

Attempt to net Sand Martins
Saturday 29th March 2014
Dave, Linda and me - a net up for Warblers and nets along side of scrape in attempt to catch any arriving / roosting hirundines. Approximately 20 or so Sand Martins came in, but sadly they evaded the net, perhaps largely due to lack of cover either side due to Starling roost having flattened just about everything.
Birds ringed: 4 Chiffchaff, 1 Reed Bunting
Good views of Curlew ( 9 in total on scrape ), and nice to hear Lapwing and Oystercatcher.
