A check on the feeding station yesterday (Fri) surrendered the following to the ringers.
Dunnock 2, Robin 1, Blackbird 2, Long-tailed Tit 2, Blue Tit 11, Great Tit 8 & Chaffinch 1.
This was in contrast to an early morning visit to the Rough the day after. A female Gt.Spot on the feeder (a male in the willows), a noisy Wren, a party of 3 Dunnocks chasing around, 2 prs of Robin, at least 3 male Blackbirds (both birds on Fri were female), 2 territorial (singing/fighting) male Song Thrushes (and another singing down by the Crescent), a very vocal Chiffchaff, 2 small family parties of Long-tailed Tits on different feeders, 4 Magpies having a battle over this part of the long hedge (I noted a new nest has been built), 3+ Chaffinches, a lone 'wheezing' Greenfinch, 7 Goldfinches in the tallest tree (the Locust) and last but not least, 3 pairs of Bullfinches - yes three!, again having a bit of a "todo".
There were also 2 Sky Larks over, a Shelduck and a sinensis Cormorant.
