October Ringing Totals

307 birds of 26 species is pathetic. Our previous lowest October ringing total was 571 in 2006 with our highest October ringing total 2,741 back in 1988. Numbers of all species were very poor with only 1 Goldcrest unbelievably low (our highest Goldcrest October total was 702 ringed in 2015). Single Cetti's is the only bird of note but we have had several this year of a species that only visits very infrequently.
