Chiffchaff       ringed 09/06/2021

Sightings: Quiet, probably due to the cold, blustery, showery, weather. The three Woodlark

flew over as we were about to clear up. As we approached the enclosure a flock of at least

100 Starling appeared and looked as if they might end up in the nets but landed outside. Not a

bird I have ringed often; they are messy to handle, and difficult to extract from the netting.
