07/03 Greenham

 Was going to ring the Bagnor Feeder today 7th March 2023, but cancelled yesterday as the weather forecast was for rain and sleet, cold and windy. Needless to say the weather was overcast cool and calm. Instead I put a 10metre net up in my garden near sunflower heart feeders and caught a Dunnock, four Goldfinch and a Robin between 09:00 and 11:30hrs. One of the Goldfinches was a re-trap that had been ringed as an adult just over the road at the  Western Enclosure, Greenham Common on the 16/06/2021. The Robin was a re-trap and had been ringed in the garden 09/01/2021.

Goldfinch Female - red does not extend passed the eye and white bristles at the base of the top mandable. It is a first callender year bird.
