On the College farm the maize clamp face at Higher Dairy is acting as a magnet to starlings, blackbirds, chaffinches and pied wagtails.
On Sunday, 3rd Janauary, I tried my 6m net by a gateway and tall hedge for an hour and caught 6 chaffinch and a couple of house sparrows - so today I set up the 6m and an 18m net a little closer to the clamp in preparation for some ringing tomorrow. In 20 minutes of the nets being up 6 starlings, 4 chaffinch, 2 robins, a dunnock and a blackbird poped into the nets - lets hope the wind is not too strong tomorrow!
