Over on the right I have updated the ringing totals for Fylde Ringing Group up until the end of August. Even though we ringed a respectable 641 birds during the month we are still 982 down on where we were last year! Two new species for the year were ringed this month in the form of a single Magpie and Collared Dove, and below are the top five for the month and the top ten 'movers and shakers' for the year.
Top Five Ringed August
1. Swallow - 441
