Ivel Ringing Group: CES V1

CES V1 - Thorns

Sunday - a very productive first visit ... but no Nightingales seen or heard! Very good numbers of Whitethroats. Turtle Dove purring away and laughing at the nets - as usual!

Trainee versus Trainer ???

Today's tally was 33 new birds, plus 7 retraps from previous years, of a remarkable 13 species.

Wren 3/0, Dunno 4/2, Robin 1/0, Blabi 3/1, Sonth 1/0, Leswh 1/0, White 7/1, Garwa 1/0, Blaca 2/0, Chiff 3/0, Wilwa 2/1, Lotti 2/2, Chaff 3/0.

The "extreme gardening" over the winter seems to have done the trick.

British Trust for Ornithology

Bird ringing in Britain and Ireland is organised and co-ordinated by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).
A network of over 2,500 highly trained and licensed volunteers currently ring over 850,000 birds every year. On average only one in every one hundred birds ringed is subsequently recaught elsewhere or found by a member of the public and reported.

Every report of a ringed bird is therefore of extreme value. To report a dead or colour-ringed bird, go to http://www.ring.ac .
For more information about ringing in the UK and Eire, please go to http://www.bto.org/ . A ringing scheme operates in every European country and most countries of the world.
