A distinct lack of juvenile bird during the month led to the lowest ringing totals for this month since 1991 (140). A total of 169 birds of 27 species were ringed. Top spot being taken by Dunnock at 22 birds. Considering the number of Linnets presumably breeding on the reserve a total of only 20 new birds suggests a poor breeding season so far. Whilst the unsettled weather of the last few months may have brought us some nice vagrants and scarcities it may have had a negative impact on the breeding success of our resident species. Hopefully next month things will pick up on the baby bird front.
