Common Western Enclosure Week 46
Session:15/11/2021, 07:40 to 10:50hrs
Notes: Had a ringing tick today, a Fieldfare, a first for me as far as I can remember; it is the 20th Fieldfare the NRG have ringed. They often come down to calls but rarely get into the nets. If they do, they
usually get out again before we can get to them; they are big thrushes. We had
a Chiffchaff in the net, but it got away just as we got to it. A good mix of
species for the time of year here.

Long-tailed Tit ringed 15/07/2020
Sightings: We saw a large flock of
finches (around 100) over the trees to the south, too far away to ID. The flocks of
Redpoll and Goldfinch seen later came from that direction and were probably
part of the flock. Also, six or seven ducks flying over the lakes at Sandleford
were too far away to ID all of them but we did manage to get the plumage of two
Shoveler, the others were probably Gadwall or maybe Mallard.
