This morning we had a movement of Goldcrests – with 11 birds rung. The majority were males fledged this year. I had feedback from other ringers that they too had seen the same today. As well as the usual birds expected at this time of year – Blackcap and Chiffchaff – a number of Treecreeper and Coal Tit were rung. The photo shows a young Blackcap with a few juvenile brown feathers still on its head.
