September's Ringing Totals

Over on the right you will see that I have updated the ringing totals for Fylde Ringing Group up until the end of September. At 2,407 birds ringed for the year we are now only 276 short of where we were last year. However with the forecast for the next seven days looking like there will be no ringing we might lose a bit of momentum this month.

Four new species were added to the species list for 2014 and these were Barn Owl (2 pulli), Garden Warbler (1), Coal Tit (3) and Jay (1).

Below I have listed the top five species ringed for the month and the top ten 'movers and shakers' for the year.
