Ringing chicks
Once again it's been a busy week as last Sunday I was with PH ringing Common, Lesser Whitetroats, Blackcaps, Great tit and a retrap male Bullfinch that was ringed back in March.
16th May
Made a second visit to Netherhall with PRO, PH and some of the Southern colour ringing group to colour ring Little Egret chicks. 12 Little Egret and 2 bonus Grey Heron were ringed.
Some birds were to small to colour ring.
Little Egret with Me and my happy face.
Grey Heron, please pass on sightings of any colour ringed bird.
Saturday 18th May
Out with PRO, PH and DMo to ring some pullis waders sadly the numbers were very low due to a number of reasons, hopefully 2nd broods will have a better chance?
Ringed Plover above, just 2 were ringed and just 1 Lapwing!
Thanks again lads.......

Update
Went along to Lea Valley water works NR to help out Paul Roper with a ringing demo along with Paul Hawkins and Louise. We processed 36 new birds Reed Warbler, Whitethroat, Blackcap, Reed Bunting, Cetti's Warbler and a few Greenfinch added a nice mixed catch, Great to see and speak to some of the local school children that attended and show them some of the birds that we ringed.
In between a couple of ringing sessions I've added a few new birds for the patch year list. With Wheatear, Little Owl and Swift being the latest birds, which puts me on 101 for the year. Didn't see a Little Owl on the patch last year!
6th May
A slow session this morning with PH with only 11 birds ringed. Nice to ring our first Lesser Whitethroat of the season though.
