Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: Species number 16
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016/12/species-number-16.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Thursday, 1 December 2016. I have now ringed 16 species and just over 150 birds at this site. Thank you to the Teifi Ringers for their advice on how to catch the Redwing and thank you Charlie for the Latvian Redwing sound, which brought them down to the mist net. I caught the first one at 8:30am and then two more at 9:00am. Other birds ringed this morning, starting at 6:45am, were: 2 Blackbirds, 3 Blue tits, 1 Chaffinch and another male Great spotted woodpecker.

Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: That enjoyable moment when the sun finally appears.
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016/10/that-enjoyable-moment-when-sun-finally.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Monday, 24 October 2016. That enjoyable moment when the sun finally appears. I was out three times last week, but not a lot to show for it. I ran out of sunflower seeds, so less chaffinches and no goldfinches. I did get another woodpecker though and a pair of bullfinches :). Male (red patch on the back of the head), Great spotted-woodpecker. A few flocks of Redwing have flown over so fingers crossed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: Over 100 birds
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016/10/over-100-birds.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Sunday, 16 October 2016. Nice first net round with four new birds, Nuthatch, Chaffinch, Robin and another Goldfinch. This is the 3rd Nuthatch I have ringed, so far I have had two males and one female. The image below indicates that this is a male from the deep rufous feathers underneath its tale. I also had two helpers for a little while, my wife Cathryn, who got to ring bird number 100 (Chaffinch) and my daughter Savannah who was just a bit of a heavy lump :).

Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: September 2016
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Friday, 23 September 2016. I decided to try the mist net in a new location. Which is slightly more open and more exposed than the last site. So far it has been more successful in trapping Chaffinches than the last site. With 5 male and 3 female caught. Juvenile male Bullfinch (left). Red feathers beginning to grow through (right) is an indication that it is a male. And a peacock butterfly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. BTO Bird Ringing - 'Demog Blog'.

Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: Species number 14
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016/10/species-number-14.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Sunday, 9 October 2016. The Blackbird. I was surprised how long it took to catch one as there is at least 6 around. Due to rain, but mainly wind, ringing has been a bit quieter, so I have been spending more time getting the ringing shed cosier. Here's my daughter Savannah doing some work in her woodland activity book. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing: Linnets and Goldfinches
http://knight-foxbirdringing.blogspot.com/2016/10/linnets-and-goldfinches.html
Ryan Knight-Fox Bird Ringing. Friday, 14 October 2016. Linnet ringing at Mwnt with the Teifi Ringers this morning, using a whoosh net. 64 linnets and 1 house sparrow, which was the highlight for Andrew, a trainee with the Teifi Ringing Group as it was a new species for him. Later on I was back in my garden, where I'm happy to say I got a pair of Goldfinches, species number 15 :). Male Goldfinch, as the red on the face extends to behind the eye and has darker/blacker nostril whisker/feathers.
