After a couple of frustrating weeks with the weather, I managed to get a session in Ravensroost this morning. The weather was perfect for ringing: dry, weak sun breaking through mid-morning and not a breath of wind. It was something of an odd session, with a reasonable first hour, when I caught a number of Redwing, and then an absolute dead spell until 11:00, whereupon Goldcrests and Long-tailed Tits started turning up.
The list was as follows, New (retrapped): Blue Tit 2; Great Tit 1(1); Long-tailed Tit 3(1); Wren (1); Blackbird 1; Redwing 11; Goldcrest 3(4). Totals 21 new, 7 retraps. ST
