24th August 2019 seen by The Ringers

Ringing this morning was quiet in Whillet’s. It appears that most of the Whitethroats have moved on – we only saw two. Species ringed: Blackcap, Chifchaff, Marsh Tit (all juveniles), Dunnock and Blue Tit. A Great Spotted Woodpecker was re-trapped – originally ringed in 2016.
Other species of note: Kingfisher and Willow Warbler.
Yesterday we received a ringing recovery for a Reed Warbler that was ringed on 28 July 2019 as a juvenile and was re-trapped on 22 August at Icklesham; showing the route it has taken to cross the channel.
