Ringer's Diary: Twite and Cormorant to Ireland

http://training-to-ring-birds.blogspot.com/2014/01/twite-and-cormorant-to-ireland.html

Ringer's Diary Wild Bird ringing in the Isle of Man and other places. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Twite and Cormorant to Ireland. Kev sent me a nice email from a Mr Joseph Delvin saying he had seen a Twite at Giles Quay, Co. Louth, Ireland on 17/01/2014 wearing our Colour rings. This bird was ringed last winter between September 2012 and April 2013. And is our first record of a Twite to Ireland. Joseph tells me they do have breeding Twite there, so some of our winter flock may come from there as well.

Gillian Dinsmore’s Bird Ringing Blog: August 2012

http://gilliandinsmore.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, 16 August 2012. Flick Me A Swift! In June, whilst out checking on a few nests around the local cemetery, we noticed some Swifts flying particularly low amongst the gravestones. We decided to take the opportunity to try some flick netting so jumping in the car we whizzed back to the house, picked up the gear and hurried back before the Swifts started flying high again. These little high flying wonders have such extremely sharp claws it’s unreal and very painful! Lesson learned I think! Back in J...

Gillian Dinsmore’s Bird Ringing Blog: Summing up The Siskin

http://gilliandinsmore.blogspot.com/2015/02/summing-up-siskins.html

Monday, 2 February 2015. Summing up The Siskin. Just a quick update on the Siskin today:. It's been almost a year since I was sat at my bedroom window at university catching Siskins - See Here. In the end I ringed over 350 and now have had time to play with Google Earth and map the controls/recoveries. I managed to catch 16 controls between March and May last year and as you can see from the map below they came from all over the UK. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
