http://davehallam.blogspot.com/p/what-is-bird-ringing.html

Been a while hasn't it? Well there you go. It's been a quiet Winter for us, ringing wise, though to be fair it hasn't really felt like a Winter at all. I was out a few weeks ago but it was a low key affair so I didn't get around to blogging it, oh the shame! Anyhow we made it out this morning. TBL with a GRSWO. No surprises...

Back at the end of March, before all the glorious summer sun, we caught a Goldcrest with a ring on it from another UK ringing group.

The final bird of the day was an unexpected Brambling, which I always find a pleasure to come across. A local ringe...

http://davehallam.blogspot.com/2012/02/pheasant-trap-checking.html
This is a blog about my bird ringing activities, inspired by many other existing ringing blogs that I very much enjoy reading, enjoy, comment, share. We spent a couple of hours this morning checking the Pheasant traps with Neil the keeper. We weren't expecting much so a Rook in the second trap was a pleasant surprise, not a bird that we get the chance to handle much. Rook nest communally in Rookeries, which are getting very active at the moment. Rook ( Corvus frugilegus. Mallard ( Anas platyrhynchos.
