Another great session with @farmer_richardT this week saw us ring Skylark 36 + 2r Jack snipe 3 Common snipe 2 Woodcock 1 We see large flocks of Skylarks at the moment, but these are avoided to reduce disturbance. Our trainee and C permit holder did brilliantly during this session

Over 1,000 Redpoll ringed on Cannock Chase, Staffs and one had quite the story! 💫 Originally ringed on 01/10/25 in South Landing, Yorkshire 196 km away, it was recaptured by us just 13 days later. 🐦✨ Incredible journey for such a tiny traveller! #Redpoll #Migration

Last night I ringed the first two Barn Owls of the Autumn. They were both juveniles and both were in very good condition with great weights. Fingers crossed that they winter well and have a great breeding season next year🤞.
