Sunday at the allotment

Sunday was lovely, warm with the dunnocks and great tits calling, I opened the allotment net for a few hours - surprisingly small number of retraps but stand out birds were 2 male yellowhammers - these are the first yellowhammers caught at the allotment - the 2 males were separated by an hour - its these sort of surprises, the movement patterns that you don't expect that make ringing at the allotment a delight.
