Ringing at Bradden

Hello

Chris Payne and John Woollett spent some time today ringing in South Northants at Bradden. They caught 75 birds made up of 39 Blue Tits, 24 Great Tits, 2 Coal Tits, 5 Goldcrests, 3 Chaffinches, a Dunnock and a Blackbird. The vast majority were new birds indicating that a good number of common birds are already making use of this woodland feeding station.

Down on the Scillies, bird migration has been much quieter this week so I thought I would post some images of typical sea mammals regularly found around the shores...

Regards

The Scillonians generally respond
 favourably to the changing of the season
 as the birders arrive! A 'Stonecrow'
 birder on St Agnes...

Harbour Porpoise - as usual
incredibly shy!

A female Grey Seal...

...and her pup!



Common Dolphins - definitely not
shy and often the wildlife highlight of
a day on the Scilly Isles!
