RINGING SESSION AT STORTONS

 A ringing session took place on Wednesday 13^th November at Storton’s pits nature reserve, targeting Redwing and Goldfinch. The team were not disappointed and recorded one of the highest totals for ringed Redwings on this site. 126 birds were processed of 14 species, including 71 Redwing and 17 Goldfinch. As no feeders on this part of the site, tits were very limited. One of the three Blackbirds caught, was thought to be a continental male.
