Location: Bagnor Feeder CES visit 6 of 8
Session: 18/01/2022 07:45 to 11:15hrs
Notes: Six of the Great Tits arrived early in the session out numbering Blue Tits, then the norm for this winter returned; nearly all Blue Tits plus two Great Tits and a Coal Tit later in the session. Some interesting re-traps included a Blue Tit ringed at this feeder 10/12/2021 that was at the Snelsmore Feeder 02/01/2022 and back here today; ranging at least 1.5KM. A similar distance to the Blue Tit pulli re-trapped today that had been ringed at Snelsmore Car Park box CP27
