I'm not sure why I'm posting really as I haven't got much to report! Today looks as though it might be a good day for migrants but I am stuck indoors catching up on some work! On Sunday evening we tried a ringing session at the Nature Park because Dave was down from Orkney and he is trying to get his C permit. Four nets were set and we had them up for at least two hours and we caught four birds. Two
Blackbirds and two B
lue Tits! In fact we saw very little other than a male
Wheatear and a couple of
Linnets and
Swallows.
Blue Tit
Yesterday I was on some moorland and in-bye land in east Lancashire carrying out a breeding wader survey and I saw very little migrant wise in the cold easterly breeze. On the tops were 6 male
Wheatears and that was it. And the breeding waders were thin on the ground too, with just a couple of pairs of
Curlew.
Fingers crossed I should be out in the next couple of days again.
