15/05 NEST BOX CHECKING

Completed another full check of all un-ringed active boxes yesterday(14th) and today.
This round I was able to ringed most of the boxes leaving 14 to do, most should be ring-able by the end of this week with probably a Great Tit or two next week. Haven't checked but the number of Blue Tits ringed at Greenham Common seems much lower than previous years. This is probably is why the occupation here is much lower than the other sites; wonder where the birds have gone!
