Over on the right you will see that I have updated the ringing totals for Fylde Ringing Group up until the end of August. At 1523 birds ringed we are 690 down on this time last year. Let's hope for a good autumn to catch up!
Four new species for the year so far were ringed in August and these were Kingfisher, Redstart, Grasshopper Warbler and Garden Warbler.
Below you will find the top 5 ringed during August and the top 10 'movers and shakers' for the year.

The forecast is looking reasonable for the weekend, so fingers crossed I'll get some birding and ringing in at the Obs.
