I'd ringed him last year on the 5th of March as an adult, but he has a greater covert pattern that looks like he was an age 5 (born last year). This makes me more nervous about ageing Robins! I reset the trap and caught him again, but the blackbird who also uses it didnt come close enough.
Robin with 4 OGCs that look juvvy.
On Sunday I went along to Wicken Fen for a spot of ringing and a meeting/practical about nest recording. Nothing special on the ringing front but the nest recording people were phenomenal! They spotted things I swear were invisible.
Since then I've been on brief forays into the orchard, no nests found yet but I have seen some Lottis with nesting material - so they are nesting somewhere nearby.
