July was a good moth for ringing, despite a break in coverage 309 birds of 24 species were ringed. Many of these being local and dispersing juveniles. This is the highest total for July since 2005 although probably compensates slightly for the poor number of fledglings last month. Top of the charts were Linnet (75), Greenfinch (61) and Dunnock (27).
