Long-tailed Tit        ringed 04/10/2021

Sightings: Apart from one or two double figure Woodpigeon flocks south early, little movement about the heath. Winter thrush numbers well down and just a single Lesser Redpoll flying about, didn’t even see a Great Tit. What looked to be a Common Darter was flying around when we took the nets down, and there are still a few flies active.
