A record of my adventures of birds and bird ringing


Wednesday 1 April 2009


Picture of a wren-beast I caught yesterday, which today I caught again. This is the 3rd re-trap out of 6 birds ringed in total in the veg-plot area of the garden.

The one really interesting thing about the veg-plot area is that the birds around there seem to have routines. One morning I caught a house sparrow, and in the afternoon a blackbird. The next day the same thing happened, same birds, same locations in the net, similar timings.

Aside from that, catching is slow. I might move the net tomorrow and see if I can catch more down by the stream. At least the net wont be silhouetted against buildings there!
