A total of 377 birds of 37 species were ringed this September, down about 100 on last year and lowest total since 2007. A continued battering of Westerly winds certainly didn't help us, with the brief window of Easterlies rescuing what was on track to be the poorest September ever! Full totals are below, no particular oddities or scarce species though the Manx Shearwater found in the docks was not one we expected to be on the list for the year!
