Over on the right you will see that I have updated the ringing totals for the year so far for Fylde Ringing Group. Up until the end of June we have ringed 1,138 birds of 43 species and we are 593 birds up on this time last year. In fact June has been our best month so far. Four new species were ringed for the year and these were Kestrel, Oystercatcher, Skylark and Sand Martin.
Below are the top five ringed for the month and the top ten 'movers and shakers' for the year.
