Ides of March

Set up at the feeding station this morning. Three old favourites - juv Blue Tit from June 02, f.g. Dunnock from June 03 & post breeding Great Tit from Oct 03. Also ringed a NEW female Great Spot., and another 2CY female Bullfinch.

Yesterday, I spooked a Water Rail from between the steps and the 'dead seat'. On Wednesday, I caught a resplendent adult male Kingfisher. A Reed Bunt was singing in the crescent.



On all 3 days, the Sparrowhawks have been showing off their acrobatic skills, together with their full vocabulary.
