2nd December 2012


On and off the island before the tide meant crossing in the dark, and as the daylight came the Lakeland fells and Black Comb were clearly visible behind the wind farms (above). A Song Thrush was the only new bird ringed today, winter not being the best time for a potential ringing trainee to be experiencing ringing for the first time, although a Wren and Blackbird were retrapped. The usual waders and other species were present with the addition of a group of Teal. 
Ringed :- 1 Song Thrush       [ 1087-32 ]
