The title of today's blog refers to the mass of Blue tits that swept through the garden today. Luckily we were a few more hands than normal and Benny, Gert and Hans all joined to help with the birds. In total today we ringed 815 birds. 657 of these were Blue Tits. Other were 103 Goldcrest, 21 Great Tit, 7 Chiffchaff, 6 Robin, 3 Chaffinch, 3 Siskin, 2 Wren, 2 Blackbird, 2 Song Thrush and singles of Sparrowhawk, House Sparrow, Tree Sparrow, Brambling, Redpoll and Bullfinch.
