Ringing:

The weather for today looked a bit more promising than the past few days so Xenia and I had our hopes up for a nice morning of ringing. The first few rounds were pretty good with some highlights such as a recapture Yellowhammer (Gulspurv) and a Linnet (Tornirisk).

I also saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker hanging around the nets in a foresty area and kept hoping it would come in, but unfortunately not. Maybe another day!

At the closing round we spotted a cute little female Roe Deer feeding on the grass around some nets. Very cute encounter, and we could see that she knew the placement of the nets as she just gracefully slid under it to leave.
