This last weekend the 15th and 16th of October different members were active on different days at Eskmeals. JS, MW, RG, CG, LH and KH. 123 birds of 15 species were processed. They were as follows, re-traps in brackets. Sparrowhawk 1, Wren 3(1), Dunnock 4(2), Robin 3(1), Blackbird 10(1), Song Thrush 5, Blackcap 10, Chiffchaff 2, Goldcrest 9, Long-tailed Tit 2(1), Coal Tit 7(6), Blue Tit 12(4), Great Tit 3(2), Chaffinch 7, Bullfinch 22(3).
A tape lure was used successfully to increase Bullfinch numbers as the group is attempting a RAS. The first colour combination used was Violet over Violet Left Leg with Violet over metal Right Leg The ring was placed on a female so you can guess what she will be called, if we see her again.
