In general it feels that pulli ringing is a little later this year compared to last.
2 nests of pied wagtail done - pretty much as last year (3) but no colour rings available so they were not used this year. We are watching one less nest at the moment though (4).
At work we have also done a chaffinch (4 chicks), collard dove (2) and a stock dove (1). Really pleased to get the collared doves as last year we missed them numerous times - went from too small to too big in days!
In the garden the 3 early blackbird chicks have fledged and are still around, a new nest site has been found by Mum and Dad.
We have had robins and dunnocks predated or desert. The sadness of the loss of a nest full of kestrel chicks was tempered by the fact they were probably eaten by barn owls who had laid 2 eggs!
Tit boxes start next weekend which is definitely later,we started the College boxes on the 14 May last year.
