Over on the right I have updated the ringing totals for Fylde Ringing Group up until the end of April. April is probably the month when the most new species are added with the arrival of summer migrants. Nine new species were ringed for the year which were Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroat, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Pied Flycatcher and Starling.
Below you will find the top 5 ringed for the month and the top ten 'movers and shakers' for the year.
