More of the same

Today was rather busy, luckily we were joined by Benny and Gert who were to give a guided tour to some school children later in the morning, the extra hands were very welcome as Blue Tits arrived en masse. The ringing totals for today are as follows: Blue Tit 232, Robin 25, Great Tit 15, Chiffchaff 8, Goldcrest 5, Redstart 5, Dunnock 3, Chaffinch 3, Blackcap, Sparrowhawk and Song Thrush 2 each and a single Wren. Nets were taken down early due to rain. Notable sightings include 3 Marsh Harrier (Juveniles), 10 Jays and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Thanks again to Gert and Benny for their help. I hope their hands aren't as sore as mine and Heather's.
