A 5♂ Black Redstart caught using a Spring-Trap
An interesting month with 211 birds of 21 species caught. The number of long distance migrants caught tailed off towards the end of the month although the number of Long-tailed Tits processed was high and it seems to be a record Winter for them, with 52 new birds caught in March alone.
A small bit of Spring-Trapping produced 2 Black Redstarts and a Stonechat. The Highlight was a Cetti's Warbler a species rarely ringed at the Obs. Other Highlights of the month included 6 Firecrest, a female Yellowhammer and a Water Rail.
