Please keep an eye out for the local Herring Gulls, ZSL & ZSN which should have fledged from museum roof recently. Please make sure you report your sightings!
July is a strange month, normally quiet for rarities but with a good dispersal of local juvenile species, some of which are only recorded at this time of year.
The month kicked off in style with a Common Crossbill caught on the 1st, other scarcities included only the second July record of a Goldcrest, 2 Wood Warblers, once a late July staple and 4 juvenile Great Spotted Woodpeckers and 3 juvenile Green Woodpeckers. In total 208 birds of 29 species were ringed.
