More Woodies heading South in the cold this morning with over 6500 counted. Amongst them 219 Stock Doves, 1 Rook, a Male Hen Harrier, a handful of the usual finchy suspects, a Grey Wagtail, 4 Jays and a Mistle Thrush. Ringing was slow going with a few new Blackbirds, Goldcrests and a lone Pigeon. A female Bullfinch was a nice addition to the years species list and the first ringed on site since 2007.

Ringing: Blackbird 9, Goldcrest 4, Goldfinch 4, Chaffinch 3, Lesser Redpoll 2, Wren, Woodpigeon, Redwing and Bullfinch = 26.
