What another nest box post!

The first ringing week end at the College on Saturday with 11 nests of pulli rung.
Its early days with another 2 trips at least to get the full picture but we think the cold weather has had an effect on those birds who laid their eggs early. 4 blue tit boxes had 5.25 chicks rung , 6 great tit boxes had 3.3 average chicks rung.

A second set of pied wagtails pulli 5/5 were rung.

2 swallows nests and around 8 more boxes to be rung next weekend As there are definitely more caterpillars around this week than last the fingers crossed that the averages will improve.
