Instead they migrate in summer – from mid-June to early August – to large estuaries to moult before moving on to wintering sites, which may or may not be near their breeding areas. All the </span>known offshore migration routes pass through areas<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that may have offshore wind farms in future.

The cannon net was set up yesterday, and a team of 12 keen ringers attended for the catch this morning. At one stage there were about 30 Shelduck on the scrape, but they refused to feed on the grain and then flew off. At about 945am the decision was made to give up & disassemble the net. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYNzOiadg-OKf8ixQ1XUUyy2bFCZ8UnqhAC2zW-rMo4z5hmAEU3gHpnQcUKAR15TU9JThglGRGT84HxN7LebTjojHR8qsagkIjANsEqv9YCDPTnkHJVyoIwPJRtBiX_4xYuLx850NCVo61tFw79Ywci32cbwAudPvBGkAK1hHeR6ryeececMvc5B-dppl/s2048/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-10%20at%2014.12.22.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYNzOiadg-OKf8ixQ1XUUyy2bFCZ8UnqhAC2zW-rMo4z5hmAEU3gHpnQcUKAR15TU9JThglGRGT84HxN7LebTjojHR8qsagkIjANsEqv9YCDPTnkHJVyoIwPJRtBiX_4xYuLx850NCVo61tFw79Ywci32cbwAudPvBGkAK1hHeR6ryeececMvc5B-dppl/w400-h300/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-10%20at%2014.12.22.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The catch area during the week (photo: Adrian Bayley)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37VDFBpFsF7UiM5C8l299TmnsRgsxJegT6ufjv_qLAP8ZKt1H_QdyDEs1XTtnbI-2cT81sOGAV93zMrqpeCNeLGN8GB-uJK30DDHFM9lqQmyPa3pjjUTTxlPuduTNZ5d1iX3tVdrEye7fJTpvMOYfR40BBw9ojPQhHLZMG2eroUr5K1xKZp-oUSvg34RV/s2048/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-10%20at%2014.12.20.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37VDFBpFsF7UiM5C8l299TmnsRgsxJegT6ufjv_qLAP8ZKt1H_QdyDEs1XTtnbI-2cT81sOGAV93zMrqpeCNeLGN8GB-uJK30DDHFM9lqQmyPa3pjjUTTxlPuduTNZ5d1iX3tVdrEye7fJTpvMOYfR40BBw9ojPQhHLZMG2eroUr5K1xKZp-oUSvg34RV/w300-h400/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-10%20at%2014.12.20.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The net set & ready (photo: Adrian Bayley)</div><span> <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZBRGPVNHP39gR7bVUeH2XxbjQ_8FCIYMxGNkRHYXUH5QyNrxVbhFMhv6cXL7OQeM1GkS0duO44JGYqhyKWXttSUssmXtTG7iSrmR12Q-S-eEoipnZ5HalvkI7b6YlF9gFcFwfqTrAy6Y4UqTrPwe82siNgEmZoiuTmAD9rB_KoV70NJC81Wo1Ewjl3RgN" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="2560" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZBRGPVNHP39gR7bVUeH2XxbjQ_8FCIYMxGNkRHYXUH5QyNrxVbhFMhv6cXL7OQeM1GkS0duO44JGYqhyKWXttSUssmXtTG7iSrmR12Q-S-eEoipnZ5HalvkI7b6YlF9gFcFwfqTrAy6Y4UqTrPwe82siNgEmZoiuTmAD9rB_KoV70NJC81Wo1Ewjl3RgN=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The disappointed Team </div><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><p></p><p><br /></p>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01643034110557345387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379051183515055915.post-91428183991341675762024-02-07T14:25:00.005+00:002024-02-07T15:03:32.150+00:00Cannon netting 13/01/2024<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The group undertook its first cannon netting session of the year at Seaton Marshes.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;">The catch area had been baited for several days.

This area, which is quite close to the Discovery Hut, hasn't been ringed for quite some time. Severn nets were set, including one across the small brook which runs along the edge of the area, and a ringing base was set up in the pond-dipping shelter. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnk4BtEjvKm9KgbwBoXf9XqDtZpJabbbZV_A5b_elUgCqK90T_k9DMUi1AHzaRqtll0rXpMOwrWWWni318gWOfzTnynaHKNfQS4So4xd9cTu337DA1nPp2FfFt7qZzuzAYHKQO4qwx2quNJPeFzKurDMVGIeX0mUSVwiOjVJQZUwbo5G9X-x6FW2rRmKmz" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="4896" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjnk4BtEjvKm9KgbwBoXf9XqDtZpJabbbZV_A5b_elUgCqK90T_k9DMUi1AHzaRqtll0rXpMOwrWWWni318gWOfzTnynaHKNfQS4So4xd9cTu337DA1nPp2FfFt7qZzuzAYHKQO4qwx2quNJPeFzKurDMVGIeX0mUSVwiOjVJQZUwbo5G9X-x6FW2rRmKmz=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ringing underway in the pond-dipping shelter. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It was rather windier than ideal, although better than had been forecast, and quite slow going with just a few birds each round. A Long-tailed Tit already wearing a ring turned out to have been originally ringed as a newly hatched bird on 9/8/21, by one of the Group present at this session, and to have been subsequently re-trapped on 18/11/21 & 19/1/22. The typical lifespan of a Long-tailed Tit is 2 years, so it's already doing fairly well, although it has a long way to go before reaching the maximum known age of 8 years & 11 months. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgC2X74KRvHUhq35Zr-wgz8iqpHfoap8S6GXs2ej2HE1JuhEecgcA4C13FxkHucRJOSdgHym4nE59iztxaP7jPcSYGvewao1Zvt52YdwoMa9v6T-32dqegsmWgC_h8Ac0AndoSG3FA4vfk4VU0z2oylRi8B04ntcUaYpA76l1QagANLn1OsWkjUJKysU7T5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3141" data-original-width="4188" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgC2X74KRvHUhq35Zr-wgz8iqpHfoap8S6GXs2ej2HE1JuhEecgcA4C13FxkHucRJOSdgHym4nE59iztxaP7jPcSYGvewao1Zvt52YdwoMa9v6T-32dqegsmWgC_h8Ac0AndoSG3FA4vfk4VU0z2oylRi8B04ntcUaYpA76l1QagANLn1OsWkjUJKysU7T5=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Long-tailed Tit first ringed 9/8/21</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The undoubted stars of the show were two Grey Wagtails, caught in the net over the brook. The Group has only previously caught nine Grey Wagtails, the last one having been ringed in November 2019. Both birds were hatched this year. The birds were aged using the difference in colour between the Median Coverts, which had been moulted during the Post-juvenile Moult & were dark black, and the duller brown Greater Coverts, which were grown in the nest. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We set up 5 60ft nets (and herded cattle) across the tussocky terrain from 4:30-6pm, while Adrian kindly marked a clear pathway for us to use once darkness set in. Without the white bamboo canes to follow, there may have been a few too many <i>You’ve Been Framed</i> moments. </span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZ433IKP9AQ_WFP4SOIgkeGtp4W9ajJ-aHgQAYIsZfrsgoAmKv6cLvAYQxyayBClqABXjOrfDb82kjWXzOtvwBt9YESZ0SKPVWPL6cANRRpwxt6f8tcOfU67fdR7OAhfwJmNivMDGq6NvsapJUJGm1rF2yNb0r-BeQYZBdr7uYtkwu1cGkKwz8luE1SODf"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZ433IKP9AQ_WFP4SOIgkeGtp4W9ajJ-aHgQAYIsZfrsgoAmKv6cLvAYQxyayBClqABXjOrfDb82kjWXzOtvwBt9YESZ0SKPVWPL6cANRRpwxt6f8tcOfU67fdR7OAhfwJmNivMDGq6NvsapJUJGm1rF2yNb0r-BeQYZBdr7uYtkwu1cGkKwz8luE1SODf=w400-h300" width="400" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Setting up nets.

This proved a good opportunity to refine our skills in these areas, generally not used for the smaller birds we catch during our monthly crop field sessions. In Curlew, these measurements can prove useful to identifying the sex; females are, on average, altogether larger. In Dunlin, the same measurements can prove indicative of different subspecies. </span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A total of 5 Dunlin were also ringed. Because these were caught within the same net round, we were able to compare them during processing, which proved a valuable lesson in identification and ageing. Much conversation was had regarding the slight differences in plumage, and the guidance given by Jeff Baker and Laurent Demongin’s texts. The latter had a point of particularly pertinent advice preceding all discussion of the species – ageing may prove ‘very difficult’.

It was the best turn out for some time, with 8 ringers attending. The first couple of rounds we had more ringers than birds, and it looked like there would be a lot of thumb-twiddling during the morning. However, at around 9:30 it livened up and we had an excellent session, catching 74 birds of 18 species.</p><p>Whilst birding, Willow Warblers & Chiffchafs can be quite difficult to tell apart unless they're singing. However, a pair of young birds caught together show how different they can be.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWhY9UiEQk65scVuQp25FpmUXapZd7OrED958HqlmJWhly8xF9BFpzilnLOKQaiZ3Z9xK2Y8fin6dQ8q0uwFcCTz9IxiQZxM5z2httjRWnO1Mf_2Jzfq0lvLw6g216zCt7pvoM8W3blTlsuLft_2zvtw6vq-CEyS2zOyzEzjQJkDLxMhULlKG4Uig-2s7b" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWhY9UiEQk65scVuQp25FpmUXapZd7OrED958HqlmJWhly8xF9BFpzilnLOKQaiZ3Z9xK2Y8fin6dQ8q0uwFcCTz9IxiQZxM5z2httjRWnO1Mf_2Jzfq0lvLw6g216zCt7pvoM8W3blTlsuLft_2zvtw6vq-CEyS2zOyzEzjQJkDLxMhULlKG4Uig-2s7b=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chiffchaff in complete juvenile plumage on the left.

It will continue moulting until it has replaced all of its old feathers, a process which will take about two months in total. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_5ScLVqcc-b9mlzGndT7gZPf0dc0NfN_bzAxt2eyLU2wlGV38OdzF35_Q4t6z6qppCTbeFffEAKKd9HOqRZTKmgPDp-DnUDnTMnax2jce9jajOlO4CHfTYdJtQhrTwvd45t26OdZTDD-3Eh8VAMVEkkeo1jmgrXYUTG4Hs1_1apvzunyO5tqJayzAB38p" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2893" data-original-width="3857" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_5ScLVqcc-b9mlzGndT7gZPf0dc0NfN_bzAxt2eyLU2wlGV38OdzF35_Q4t6z6qppCTbeFffEAKKd9HOqRZTKmgPDp-DnUDnTMnax2jce9jajOlO4CHfTYdJtQhrTwvd45t26OdZTDD-3Eh8VAMVEkkeo1jmgrXYUTG4Hs1_1apvzunyO5tqJayzAB38p=w640-h480" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The yellow eye-ring & bill, and dark plumage, show this is a male Blackbird</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhclzeJ_Qh8TJLHni4Zskhh4kJKr7TswrB8MUO4XK9xlRdkmMVc2cvn72e9ZCZUXFRptzk_IeFE31slwQK85ROrxagQ46uspbh3IwnVjTNbbhPozZyfys-601J54isl9s9LjOtfk0fzsk02F9AgpHiNPVPHrIod0diRQwABtymqwtgc_BjVd5DmpruWU7PU" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3404" data-original-width="4181" height="521" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhclzeJ_Qh8TJLHni4Zskhh4kJKr7TswrB8MUO4XK9xlRdkmMVc2cvn72e9ZCZUXFRptzk_IeFE31slwQK85ROrxagQ46uspbh3IwnVjTNbbhPozZyfys-601J54isl9s9LjOtfk0fzsk02F9AgpHiNPVPHrIod0diRQwABtymqwtgc_BjVd5DmpruWU7PU=w640-h521" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Blackbird had started its main moult, with one Primary feather already almost full length and another growing.

Ringing had been suspended largely due to concerns over HPAI (Bird Flu), however we have now resumed, implementing the BTO guidelines on the sanitising of equipment. </p><p>We were faced with an unexpected challenge on our arrival, when we were met by a herd of cows grazing in the field where we were planning to set two of our nets. Luckily we managed to herd them into an adjoining field without too much difficulty. </p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUKLaDcDSWJkUsKpDYIMnm_JonN2sD6FBb0mJtoaxl5EggACa2kCdxKTkzjhaDEbilVqYQSdGq8RzkeAUNkL4w6aSKl9EInxfnfQkT128r-79SxSG5zhZPb7Y9CuG6s6-oZQpLu3uJeblbHth8Kb6A7Vzh1PSHYyxTyXtnVzOdN1_3vkEnKUKn4NcyQA" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUKLaDcDSWJkUsKpDYIMnm_JonN2sD6FBb0mJtoaxl5EggACa2kCdxKTkzjhaDEbilVqYQSdGq8RzkeAUNkL4w6aSKl9EInxfnfQkT128r-79SxSG5zhZPb7Y9CuG6s6-oZQpLu3uJeblbHth8Kb6A7Vzh1PSHYyxTyXtnVzOdN1_3vkEnKUKn4NcyQA=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pre-ringing herding practice required!</td></tr></tbody></table><br />It was a successful session, catching 33 birds of 15 species in 6 nets.

As it was, there was a short sharp shower at about 8, and other than that it was dry, if a bit windy. Six nets were set in the vicinity of the Discovery Hut, and 25 birds were captured, of 13 species. It was great that a lot of the birds were warblers, including 7 Sedge Warblers, 6 youngsters and an adult.</p><p>The 2 Chiffchaffs caught were both hatched this year, one was still in its juvenile plumage, and one had almost completed its post-juvenile moult. A Willow Warbler which had also completed its post-juvenile moult, provided a nice comparison to the 2 Chiffchaffs.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYpCXoICmNv9BQCHUk_1kHQzbuEz3szWpMFvG9qHJ0vktJR9X5yrVMn1pdZl6Dh5XDi-Cz69mQWphanxiBaDN0NxEf3q-bhd84bC4RBGvEbtEzjhnYN2VqKaUyafuiXLEK-V5QS7b_cH2x0CrW1B6A9Cc_oGKJNwXc0twTpzCrLwVc_R1KnT_PQsInKQ" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="2560" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYpCXoICmNv9BQCHUk_1kHQzbuEz3szWpMFvG9qHJ0vktJR9X5yrVMn1pdZl6Dh5XDi-Cz69mQWphanxiBaDN0NxEf3q-bhd84bC4RBGvEbtEzjhnYN2VqKaUyafuiXLEK-V5QS7b_cH2x0CrW1B6A9Cc_oGKJNwXc0twTpzCrLwVc_R1KnT_PQsInKQ=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chiffchaff hatched this year (age code 3), which had almost finished its post-juvenile moult</td></tr></tbody></table></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2YLhE2J3_NcnrmtpWMfNzMIXNkiWPLM0qyCADOegcf0mTjjTcB7aF-ZlsL4_6bXFd20Y9YsHsKIamTQprd5vp4fKplqM_UMaa3Iu6VcA7BvNBS7nOegdC_JGjauDH0UWD_O2VDA0EhT5aviFk9G2Ui-btGzS-k27KdkZXYDaeVv5nTlTumDY768Tmg/s2560/Chiff%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="2560" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2YLhE2J3_NcnrmtpWMfNzMIXNkiWPLM0qyCADOegcf0mTjjTcB7aF-ZlsL4_6bXFd20Y9YsHsKIamTQprd5vp4fKplqM_UMaa3Iu6VcA7BvNBS7nOegdC_JGjauDH0UWD_O2VDA0EhT5aviFk9G2Ui-btGzS-k27KdkZXYDaeVv5nTlTumDY768Tmg/w640-h480/Chiff%203.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wing of Chiffchaff showing 3 Old Greater Coverts (OGCs) with slightly browner centres & paler edges. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhy5C7j430FYg9tBTD9XXs9SboZJAG7VQLv49P6c2CQLpXVqmRMxGt3t0yIp49Aa5aR_YefugQMAuFTcJQlbuL6zCliWzpifNmZZTZEIwuOJLLAnUhR4M3ncurbiM1H7U9kX3IHPOgMwe4mlszd7JJJBq-mL0RJFqe_sAEMCM80M09XPuDFoT4iMaVPOw" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhy5C7j430FYg9tBTD9XXs9SboZJAG7VQLv49P6c2CQLpXVqmRMxGt3t0yIp49Aa5aR_YefugQMAuFTcJQlbuL6zCliWzpifNmZZTZEIwuOJLLAnUhR4M3ncurbiM1H7U9kX3IHPOgMwe4mlszd7JJJBq-mL0RJFqe_sAEMCM80M09XPuDFoT4iMaVPOw=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chiffchaff in juvenile plumage</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKfqYzdHLmZHrS34A-iHPqNtDybl-46wy8iFetHQrjpJj_mzLbpGb0SLI6vPjJRelTt-7PQEai2btg41Z-65FwjMQ3uw77S8ySrAZGwbjVgjAM_wQQrtAlQyaIj-ztSt_n3iKIfO4nChcJ2Jevpx0l8aLOszfS8oT43f9VFmJl4RWOB6lNc9g5caxEHw" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKfqYzdHLmZHrS34A-iHPqNtDybl-46wy8iFetHQrjpJj_mzLbpGb0SLI6vPjJRelTt-7PQEai2btg41Z-65FwjMQ3uw77S8ySrAZGwbjVgjAM_wQQrtAlQyaIj-ztSt_n3iKIfO4nChcJ2Jevpx0l8aLOszfS8oT43f9VFmJl4RWOB6lNc9g5caxEHw=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Willow Warbler hatched this year, which has finished its post-juvenile moult.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />A Woodpigeon, only the 18th caught by the Group since 2007, was a nice surprise.

It was a pretty quiet session as we only managed to catch 24 birds. It was also a fairly painful session due to some rampant & ferocious nettles & brambles in the net rides. We had a nice variety of birds, with 13 different species, although unlike the last session, we had a fairly even split of adults and juveniles. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It was great to catch a juvenile Sedge Warbler, the Group's first this year. All Sedge Warblers undergo a complete moult in their wintering quarters in Africa, so an adult bird would look very worn, having had its feathers for well over 6 months, in comparison to the new feathers of a recently fledged bird. A juvenile also usually has a 'necklace' of dark spots around it's breast. </span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgoM0KpWpIJEiflfeuF2v0SN3tvMTng6CtuV0hUJgN_-waV-63I2QHGT5wNNbne1lh7Z45bKsxMvRUySv9Rb5F2-5BguLyz-A40kE_98SrI_6ZX9uBVyvcbI5gV4HtNgIG_Oqu5zT_ASzG4FAI1B33srAyV8WxT2ONVs7rF7ZAf_X_RrQ54wIv41mqspw" style="margin-left: auto;

The catch was predominantly of birds hatched this year, with only one adult amongst the 37 birds, that being a Reed Warbler. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Plenty of Blackcaps & Blackbirds were caught, mostly from a net set between brambles where plenty of ripe Blackberries were providing a tasty buffet. Although all hatched this year, the Blackcaps were in various stages of development, many still with their juvenile head feathers, and thus unable to be sexed. Once the new head feathers start to grow, it's possible to see whether the bird is male or female, even if just a small tuft of new feather is visible. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9CzhCyKMI_U3z6AvXYpIKDKjam9Tmlxx2NDM-2ve4f953xvCKZ--Gu-UEoFCu_Ola7OLYBpDoDeLYrDCzF3vWdOphnNPUkeMqrqBgX_xmBEBLAEofqSymZnF0q3_NDZTG-L1th7WAsfYIXqowzxKPceIkbvknQ5dPtSdU4GHYxzmHf1E6nytx-6Iv6g/s3672/Blackcap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="2936" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9CzhCyKMI_U3z6AvXYpIKDKjam9Tmlxx2NDM-2ve4f953xvCKZ--Gu-UEoFCu_Ola7OLYBpDoDeLYrDCzF3vWdOphnNPUkeMqrqBgX_xmBEBLAEofqSymZnF0q3_NDZTG-L1th7WAsfYIXqowzxKPceIkbvknQ5dPtSdU4GHYxzmHf1E6nytx-6Iv6g/w512-h640/Blackcap.jpg" width="512" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Blackcap hatched this year. </span></td></tr></tbody></table><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZO2F9DohV7a4AZO1G12WMT43XgPMB_eOdH3JMMHbFTNDCQiMgLmLS9O3GAmIe71XmHQx9uZJ6BzmtbfrItvo7ti2Sp6ZWJfBvzRo72eiM1mR_cCYJrD9u42gX8HlCJDCi1wnc4L13MxsOT6VltnAzaJIvAqjiC8xEpa7YXgPxvDglA8-ia8BqlO7WQ/s1544/Head%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1157" data-original-width="1544" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZO2F9DohV7a4AZO1G12WMT43XgPMB_eOdH3JMMHbFTNDCQiMgLmLS9O3GAmIe71XmHQx9uZJ6BzmtbfrItvo7ti2Sp6ZWJfBvzRo72eiM1mR_cCYJrD9u42gX8HlCJDCi1wnc4L13MxsOT6VltnAzaJIvAqjiC8xEpa7YXgPxvDglA8-ia8BqlO7WQ/w640-h480/Head%202.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A close inspection of the head shows a feather starting to emerge, and as it's brown, this bird is a female.

Nets were set around the Discovery Hut from where we were able to observe a group of Swifts investigating the Swift boxes and at least two birds were seen to enter. We processed 29 birds. Several juvenile birds were caught including a Robin and Blackbird.

At this time of the year, when the breeding season is underway, tape lures aren't used as they may disrupt breeding behaviour & thus numbers tend to be lower. However, both sessions still managed to produce some nice birds. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">On 16/4/22 18 birds were processed, which included 4 Song Thrush nestlings (pulli). Ringing pulli in the nest provides good data as the exact age of the birds is known. </span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Cetti's are difficult to age, but on this bird the alula feathers look faded & worn, a feature to look out for in the future. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLOEt7WZPf0uEsZcPZCoJpkZN2pBhgT5Pbk6tvBVRrTvvQgT6GeSRq7xNQ1H0NdyF01HkE1tjFekpsT5k8bH5QagLi6SiStfJqmeSQCuhNGNjTeuXpxzjN1-vqRRxlM-8we_zzLbhchzUDnPkh0u3Fa0vWsq_TlNDfv7y7zGo3eUagI_TBmRkDW-4rw/s4032/image0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLOEt7WZPf0uEsZcPZCoJpkZN2pBhgT5Pbk6tvBVRrTvvQgT6GeSRq7xNQ1H0NdyF01HkE1tjFekpsT5k8bH5QagLi6SiStfJqmeSQCuhNGNjTeuXpxzjN1-vqRRxlM-8we_zzLbhchzUDnPkh0u3Fa0vWsq_TlNDfv7y7zGo3eUagI_TBmRkDW-4rw/w640-h480/image0.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Cetti's Warbler, ringed 7/9/21 </span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysQIREHAtB9Gc47ndgPSCdzL5PzVDP_Sd9gQ6NSYAsvNe6urywo65Ib9hBf1HOU3SEOmpu1mf8Xk5YWKfqkS1lnwQ6d4UYUY-aZt34RDS-wBjxJIvrLGU2V3sH5X0366LohE4VABtztLBCF78C42_8OQiEVKIQbbvR5UD1ui6AKhab0EtToC9yp4yvw/s4032/IMG_6602%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysQIREHAtB9Gc47ndgPSCdzL5PzVDP_Sd9gQ6NSYAsvNe6urywo65Ib9hBf1HOU3SEOmpu1mf8Xk5YWKfqkS1lnwQ6d4UYUY-aZt34RDS-wBjxJIvrLGU2V3sH5X0366LohE4VABtztLBCF78C42_8OQiEVKIQbbvR5UD1ui6AKhab0EtToC9yp4yvw/w640-h480/IMG_6602%20copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wing of Cetti's Warbler</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The session on 4/5/21 was conducted to the sound of a very persistent Meadow Pipit singing nearby.

Both adults and juvenile Sparrows would have carried out a complete moult after the breeding season and an immature House Sparrow would not have retained any juvenile wing feathers which, in other birds, are a leading ageing criteria used to identify immature birds. </span></div><div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;">As we are always trying to hone our skills, we looked in Laurent Demongin's 2016 Identification Guide to Birds in the Hand, where we were surprised to learn that more than 80% of male birds can be aged. According to Demongin, the median coverts (MCs) in the immature male show "proximal half MC1-MC8 black, distal half white with shaft +/- black" whereas in the adult they are "virtually all white, distal part of shaft without black". Also the immature bird shows a "narrow brown edge on alula 2" whereas the adult shows "a broad rufous edge".</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;">The wing of this bird shows black on the MCs and a narrow brown edge on alula 2, so according to Demongin, we think it's probably a bird hatched last year, i.e. age code of 5. From now on we'll be looking more closely at every male Sparrow we catch to see if this identification feature works. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></div></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-ueyvCcKl_Usv6jAK2OiIoYr3XkPLIhiwdmCf8ljFDtFj7ot0jAotjAp90-Xrb0rVGry9q7hMo54aLlE2MD1mbuxdS5s5mZUFj-LT00Kv4Kz9CFtyg90uRsbIrHzIpaalxC03c3JpxK-EA-NoBAsQ5n83_gkRBxMDxB_zjgh6LP8DpSCZClp7kC98g/s3329/Sparrow%20wing.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2496" data-original-width="3329" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-ueyvCcKl_Usv6jAK2OiIoYr3XkPLIhiwdmCf8ljFDtFj7ot0jAotjAp90-Xrb0rVGry9q7hMo54aLlE2MD1mbuxdS5s5mZUFj-LT00Kv4Kz9CFtyg90uRsbIrHzIpaalxC03c3JpxK-EA-NoBAsQ5n83_gkRBxMDxB_zjgh6LP8DpSCZClp7kC98g/w640-h480/Sparrow%20wing.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Features which suggest this House Sparrow could have been hatched last year. </span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="font-family: Helvetica;">We packed up early as conditions deteriorated a little and were joined by two more members to carry out the long awaited group activity, the sorting of nets and labelling of the new net bags. </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQk34XXH5s7nfE_YQjhDudqRTWndBT2UjpbU47pZgkyrrT4vtOPnh9nBRLYpPjLGblgjCPG-7wlF6FlzNnIPfrTZGdIQrnpkXZEt9sdbF9LeAEQLXVrv9ur5Kq6-TXgjj-K2AREVEgE5cs42XHN7xdnGtoKyioSUwxntSwPAWm0qF4kIO5QSixpZTHYg/s2560/nets%202.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQk34XXH5s7nfE_YQjhDudqRTWndBT2UjpbU47pZgkyrrT4vtOPnh9nBRLYpPjLGblgjCPG-7wlF6FlzNnIPfrTZGdIQrnpkXZEt9sdbF9LeAEQLXVrv9ur5Kq6-TXgjj-K2AREVEgE5cs42XHN7xdnGtoKyioSUwxntSwPAWm0qF4kIO5QSixpZTHYg/w480-h640/nets%202.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Net details being ironed onto new bags, colour-coded for length.<br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJiA49397WBh6cOuPBwzMIgzMYXjKDy2xsQ9xgeKsCEUnjnqvH06Ym9QKKFIxE_FswuoITqCF9ui8Lk0bkbuWu6wEEv7cdqSjWUG0x3uImeomozzt9zKbvZz6yrlDTkpC1_GjjQfYJtSPXijlin_NtVhOYKdJ1aJorxcmPcYeFcRo0B8mFh68g0tjqw/s2560/nets%203.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="2560" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJiA49397WBh6cOuPBwzMIgzMYXjKDy2xsQ9xgeKsCEUnjnqvH06Ym9QKKFIxE_FswuoITqCF9ui8Lk0bkbuWu6wEEv7cdqSjWUG0x3uImeomozzt9zKbvZz6yrlDTkpC1_GjjQfYJtSPXijlin_NtVhOYKdJ1aJorxcmPcYeFcRo0B8mFh68g0tjqw/w640-h480/nets%203.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> A long overdue job well underway....although not quite completed. </span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><i>Peter Bennett</i></div>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01643034110557345387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379051183515055915.post-16944662032384773462022-03-20T14:31:00.003+00:002022-03-20T16:42:58.366+00:00Mist netting 18/3/2022<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Friday 18</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> saw the team out at Seaton Wetlands once more for a mist netting session.

The Group has been ringing Shelduck on Seaton Marsh since 2006. The Shelduck have been caught between November & March each year, and since 2010 each has been fitted with a yellow colour ring with black lettering on the left leg below the knee, in addition to the meal BTO ring. The post from the last cannon netting session can be read <a href="https://axeestuaryringinggroup.blogspot.com/2022/02/cannon-netting-session-on-26th-february.html" target="_blank">here</a>. As the catch area had been baited with grain in preparation for the planned session, a couple of us made use of the gathering Shelduck to read colour rings. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">More grain was put out just after 6am, and by 6.30am, we were in the hide with scope & camera at the ready. It was a slow start as the Shelduck seemed very wary, and only a few at a time made brief forays onto the grain before returning to the water. Two Canada Geese arrived and tucked in, which may have put off the Shelduck for a while. However, by about 7.30, larger numbers of Shelduck started feeding and soon every Shelduck in sight was busy on the grain.

Bridgewater Bay is an area where other Axe-ringed Shelduck have been sighted, particularly in September & October, suggesting that this may be a favoured moulting site. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">About 50 Black-tailed Godwit were present on the estuary mud, also viewed from the Seaton Marsh hide. The Group has been involved in a project colour ringing the Godwit, and information can be found <a href="http://axeestuaryringinggroup.blogspot.com/2011/10/colour-ringing-schemes_13.html" target="_blank">here</a>. There were 3 colour-ringed individuals on the mud, although one was roosting on one leg and thus only revealed its Axe Estuary signature colours of Yellow Red Yellow. Another bird showed its other leg, revealing the colour combination of Red Orange Orange. This bird was ringed on 5/3/2011 and since then has been re-sighted on a further 27 occasions. All sightings at locations other than the Axe Estuary were made before Feb 2013. It seems to have explored before deciding to become faithful to the Seaton Wetlands. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjncitG90rudXSRbUfwoUgSmD0S3kb-c6rk_oEtrk67b1c98WaIilynf5VQ87EBvh9zI9Clt2foFRCUDjCedjhVa1YhlmaZP9S8WRFQ3iQEI0AdLkfZePtgwnTU_l-Z9luBEf29RM8rHtiDCC1KqK50SPMSf-HyIjqeXfaeyZP6hdSnO7U_uYiPP8YlTA=s2270" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2270" data-original-width="2032" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjncitG90rudXSRbUfwoUgSmD0S3kb-c6rk_oEtrk67b1c98WaIilynf5VQ87EBvh9zI9Clt2foFRCUDjCedjhVa1YhlmaZP9S8WRFQ3iQEI0AdLkfZePtgwnTU_l-Z9luBEf29RM8rHtiDCC1KqK50SPMSf-HyIjqeXfaeyZP6hdSnO7U_uYiPP8YlTA=w572-h640" width="572" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Locations of sightings for Black-tailed Godwit Red Orange Orange</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The third colour-ringed Black-tailed Godwit was Green White Green, which was ringed on 25/9/2018 and hadn't been seen again until it appeared at the Seaton Wetlands in February this year. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">A Mute Swan was then spotted on the estuary mud showing a yellow colour ring with the black letters FDA. Details were submitted to the Abbotsbury Swannery who have confirmed that the male Sawn did not hatch at the Swannery, but was ringed there as a newly arrived second calendar year bird on 7/7/2018 i.e. it was hatched elsewhere in 2017. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Having finished reading rings at Seaton Marsh, we dropped in at Seaton Wetlands to see if there were any further ringed birds there. There were only 3 Shelduck present, all of which were on the water & thus not showing their legs. As we left the reserve, a pair of Mallards were guarding the car park. The female was wearing a metal BTO ring, which we managed to read using binoculars & patience! She had been ringed at Seaton Marsh on 9/1/2016, having been caught at a cannon netting session. She had been hatched on 2015 and there were no reported sightings. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Please keep your eyes peeled for colour-ringed Shelduck & Black-tailed Godwits on the Wetlands.

It had not been seen during the almost 4 1/2 year intervening period. The average age for a Blue Tit is about 3 years, so it's doing pretty well, although it has a way to go to beat the maximum recorded age of 10 years, 3 months and 10 days. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGOKu_nezHjLro5kxcZJOV5foAzG_yoYd8pFYXiY-b8XzkxOFOWKUh62A6V7VLDbihdN2Rh5_-3IIVYSTQQtl3SeXRk4Kmwf-UK5BJcLmvtoW2CKj_FRLtxw-eKBM4KkDJ_H9lWb2zm8vlkM2_p5cr915ghnRCHW3mYZXrS8V9igR6axqPk6um-HSHyw=s4045" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4045" data-original-width="3236" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGOKu_nezHjLro5kxcZJOV5foAzG_yoYd8pFYXiY-b8XzkxOFOWKUh62A6V7VLDbihdN2Rh5_-3IIVYSTQQtl3SeXRk4Kmwf-UK5BJcLmvtoW2CKj_FRLtxw-eKBM4KkDJ_H9lWb2zm8vlkM2_p5cr915ghnRCHW3mYZXrS8V9igR6axqPk6um-HSHyw=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greenfinch: Identified as a male by the amount of yellow spreading across the tail & primary flight feathers, and as an adult by the brightness of the yellow on the alula, the broad grey tips on the primary coverts, and the tail feathers which were black, round tipped & in good condition. </span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;">And lastly, a session was held on 17/2/22.

Scanning the Black-tailed Godwits roosting on the estuary mud from the viewing platform, I was excited to see one showing the Axe Estuary Ringing Group colours of 'yellow, red, yellow' on its only visible leg. The bird stubbornly refused to put down its other leg which would have revealed a unique colour combination, thus allowing me to identify when the bird was ringed & any other sightings. </p><p>However, I then spotted another bird standing nearby which was also colour-ringed, although not with the Axe colours. This one had a light green ring over a dark green one on its left leg, and an orange ring over a paler orange ring with an inscribed black Z on the right leg. </p><p>On 12th February whilst in the Tower Hide at Black Hole Marsh I was surprised to see a light green ring over a dark green ring on the leg of a roosting Black-tailed Godwit. After quite a wait, it finally put down its other leg, and revealed that it was the same bird, with its 2 orange rings & black Z.</p><p>I then set about trying to track down the origin of the rings. The usual place to find a colour-ring project is at cr-birding.org, but not this time. I finally managed to identify the project via the International Wader Study Group website's Colour Mark Register which indicated that the bird had been ringed in Iceland. I emailed the the details of my sightings, and the next day received a reply confirming that the bird, (a female, metal ring number 635383), was ringed in Auðsholt in Southern Iceland on 10.6.2017. The bird has been sighted on 69 occasions since that date. </p><p>The locations where the bird was ringed in Iceland, and the subsequent sightings are shown on the map below:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzIfN_amrkr3j5vlAE75vqw8DMXN8rnS3ClyyGY6mbJF-oV0C9Z4_H2hAnf-SYvOufqSHnARpBI72nx__dmolBZkmqKEnAXxOaq6vo63acxv3Ya3enYRB1FBKWyUewPApfD6Qe_qX7eT0M71LOBXGZQZPhYWLhT0SgPoRkU512x3unH_x1ZRGZOMTEAQ=s2374" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2014" data-original-width="2374" height="542" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzIfN_amrkr3j5vlAE75vqw8DMXN8rnS3ClyyGY6mbJF-oV0C9Z4_H2hAnf-SYvOufqSHnARpBI72nx__dmolBZkmqKEnAXxOaq6vo63acxv3Ya3enYRB1FBKWyUewPApfD6Qe_qX7eT0M71LOBXGZQZPhYWLhT0SgPoRkU512x3unH_x1ZRGZOMTEAQ=w640-h542" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">In order to visualise the movement of the Godwit over time, I've attached a chart to show where the sightings have occurred over the 6 years. This provides a rough estimate of the bird's actual location as it's obviously based only on the available sightings. There are therefore large gaps, and there may have been 'comings-and-goings' between the sightings at one location, whereas it's shown present between the start & end dates. A colour block for a week means that the bird was present for at least one day within that week and not necessarily for the whole week, and the number within the colour block indicates the number of sightings within the period shown. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Of these the highlights were a Green Woodpecker, juvenile Whinchat, ten Chiffchaffs, a Linnet, Sedge Warbler and seven Blackcaps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The evening session to catch waders on Colyford Marshes was not what we hoped with only two waders caught. Numbers were down and only the occasional Curlew, Oystercatcher and Greenshank passing over. Nevertheless, a Redshank and a Common Snipe were eventually caught and ringed.</p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnlB6G21UHscDKtW_KZw-2W0f-_n6fEmbIj8m2G72gi0a_fZwmCQiwf6TM8ouqweIjKY9A2q7SQRcye_UcXeNYEbBsG_SD8dDFRnLfI6OZ9a4ds7lmEpSNxYGjDJC8ZSr1h3cdV_y2mnT/s2048/IMG_6115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnlB6G21UHscDKtW_KZw-2W0f-_n6fEmbIj8m2G72gi0a_fZwmCQiwf6TM8ouqweIjKY9A2q7SQRcye_UcXeNYEbBsG_SD8dDFRnLfI6OZ9a4ds7lmEpSNxYGjDJC8ZSr1h3cdV_y2mnT/w391-h302/IMG_6115.JPG" width="391" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Common Snipe</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDKrJOPHCbtvTMjfXQyNw8-6hJZKn5eAUs9e8OrjJhR9V1trsO3Lau5hTp9IJTJjLQNCD5Sy13imoEYlby0bv08I19qGymRn-Xv-2XCibO27Yi261HhpSyyp7eZegJ85w8AC2cwlLXaQP/s2048/IMG_6113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDKrJOPHCbtvTMjfXQyNw8-6hJZKn5eAUs9e8OrjJhR9V1trsO3Lau5hTp9IJTJjLQNCD5Sy13imoEYlby0bv08I19qGymRn-Xv-2XCibO27Yi261HhpSyyp7eZegJ85w8AC2cwlLXaQP/w400-h300/IMG_6113.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Redshank</p><p style="text-align: center;">(Photos Mike Tyler)</p>Axe Estuary Ringing Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01726708161327769870noreply@blogger.com0
