August Ringing Totals


Redstart and Tree Pipit


As is seemingly the theme this year, it was a generally poor month for ringing totals, despite the nets being utilised on the majority of days through the month, there was simply, just a lack of migrants.   We can hope things will pick up through the traditionally busy months of September and October.
