The
Short-toed Treecreeper was yet again around for visiting birders to see. It was caught early morning within the compound and was seen showing well on Icky Ridge. It is good to see this bird is doing well and increasing in weight each day! Other birds of note today were 3 Wheatear on the common; 3 Curlew moving north, 3 Canada Geese moving north, 1 Greylag Goose moving north, 2 Mute Swans moving north and 1 Yellowhammer moving south. The ringing today was very poor; birds ringed were 1 Robin, 1 Wren and 1 Goldcrest. Later in the day a "Nordic" Jackdaw turned up that flew off into the docks & offshore 3 Eiders & a Gannet flew north.
