July Ringing Totals


Keep your eyes out for Darvic ringed seagulls around Felixstowe. The three young Herring Gulls on the museum roof will be on the move any day now.

549 birds of 30 species is the highest July total for 15 years largely due to much improved local juvenile productivity. The House Sparrow numbers are good to see as we all love spadgers and how good is it to get some young Greenies after a number of appalling years.
