Last weekend the weather did not allow netting to take place due to heavy showers and high winds. To compensate it was decided to have a session today and we were blessed with good dry weather and little wind. The conditions were ideal.
The Group caught 36 birds which is considered a good catch in an areas where we are restricted. In addition 7 Great Tits and 10 Blue Tits nestlings were also ringed so the our summer season is now well under way. Interesting there were two Blackcap retraps of a male and female with consecutive ring numbers originally caught in the same net on two separate sessions in April and May 2012. The question is, have they been a pair for at least three years?
