Blue Tit                     ringed:12/10/2021

Sightings: Quiet, a movement of hirundine probably around 35 birds just too far away east to ID and outside the counting area. A few Swallows and House Martins mainly headed west into the wind. The lone Magpie was ringed, probably one of the three ringed here in 2021 and the first time I have noticed a ring on any of the up to eight birds usual around this area of the common. No butterflies on the wing or other notable species seen.
