UEA Ringing Group: First Waxham visit of the spring brings Portuguese Control Willow Warbler
http://uearg.blogspot.com/2015/04/first-waxham-visit-of-spring-brings.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. First Waxham visit of the spring brings Portuguese Control Willow Warbler. Earlier in the week the forecast had predicted the wind to swing round from the constant North-Easterly to have some southerly in it, alongside this a band of light rain was predicted. Ideal - a push of migrants then dropped by rain! And that's what happened. Total new birds / (retraps/control). 3) Willow Warblers - 1 Portuguese control, 2 retraps (1 from 09/05/2012). 1 (1) Long-tailed Tits. 3 (1) Great Tits.

UEA Ringing Group: Cantley ringing 2014
http://uearg.blogspot.com/2014/09/cantley-ringing-2014.html
Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Over late summer this year we made several visits to our ringing site at Cantley. It turned out to be particularly good for roosting birds this year, most likely due to the reed bed having much higher water levels compared to recent years. This high water appeared to attract much greater roosts of swallows and wagtails, presumably because it is safer for them, in turn we caught many more birds this year. A fantastic 114 new yellow wagtails were ringed! Posted by Dave Andrews.

Tuesday, 17 December 2013. Over the last few weeks we've been making regular visits to our Horsford winter feeding station. There has been an increase in Bramblings with c.15 on the last session, many more than we'd normally get in the entire winter. Here's a couple of highlights from last week. Posted by Dave Andrews.

UEA Ringing Group: September 2012
http://uearg.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 19 September 2012. Excuse this non-ringing post but please sign the petition. Ask anyone with a bit of science in their background and they will tell you that a badger cull will not work in the long term. There is currently a badger tb vaccine and there is a cattle vaccine which is only waiting to be legalised. So where is the justification in this cull which is only going ahead due to farmers pressure. 30 seconds to save 100,000 lives. Please sign petition at. Posted by Dave Andrews.
