A short session in Cardington on Saturday 4th December. The temperature was marginally 'warmer' - reaching approx 1 degree C. 3 new birds were ringed and 10 retraps were caught (retraps are shown in brackets):
Long-tailed Tit 1 (1)
- Dunnock 1
- Blue Tit 1 (6)
- Great Tit (1)
- Marsh Tit (1)
- Great Spotted Woodpecker (1)
The 2
Long-tailed Tits were part of a small party. They are fantastic birds - very sociable and it is amazing how they survive the harsh conditions of a Bedfordshire winter. Saturday's birds weighed 7.3g and 7.5g, not much more than the weight of a 10p piece (6.5g).
