February numbers

Ringing in Martinstown in February 2010, new (retrap)
Dunock 1, robin 3 (1), blackbird 2 (1), blue tit 2, house sparrow 3 (1), chaffinch 6, greenfinch 4 (1), goldfinch 13, bullfinch 1 and yellowhammer 2
Mallard with the RRG 2 (3) and shelduck with the ARG 2 (11)

Of the 42 birds caught at the allotment and in the garden there are only 4 retraps - are they just good at seeing the net the second time around. The blackbird retrap was first recorded in the late summer, last year, as a pullus found  in the garden hedge - that is really pleasing!
