Location: Snelsmore
Common Feeder
Session: 24-Feb -2019 07:40 to
11:20hrs
Notes: Four siskins; was
hoping that there would be more, but nice birds to see in the hand; the recapture
had been ringed last week at the Bagnor feeder, a couple of KMs away. The mild
weather kept most birds up in the trees and from observations when condition checking
the nearby nest boxes today (25th), Blue Tits probably on territory. There seemed to be a lot more Great Tits around than in recent visits. A six
years old Nuthatch is the oldest recapture for this species I can remember;
not checked yet though. Last year’s matching
capture was considerably more, the weather was very different though,
beast from the east and all that. Nice steady session today; had time to sort out Brexit, not!
Weather: Bright, sunny, calm,
mild
Present: JL, JHW, IW, DL, RJC
Nets: 24metres a 6m each
side of feeder 12m west of feeder 08:00 to 11:00hrs

niger, fat balls, peanuts
