Inspired by news from South Milton, I set some nets at Velator Reserve this morning, and by the end of the morning had ringed 21 birds including: 4
Reed Warblers, 4
Blackcaps, 2
Willow Warblers, a
Chiffchaff, a
Sedge Warbler, 3
Treecreepers, a
Linnet and two
Tawny Owls. Both these last two species I hadn't ringed at the reserve before. I also caught one of a newly-fledged brood of
Song Thrushes, presumably at least a second brood.
