Today was our last scheduled visit of the post breeding/migration ringing sessions at Belvide for 2022. We had a great turnout and 9 guests joined us to see some of the last catch. Everyone had a great time with plenty of regular species to show; with this little beauty as a bonus!!
This is a juvenile Stonechat, and it just happens to be the first of this species that we have ringed at Belvide--great stuff, yet another new species for the project.
In case you are under the impression that this means our activities will slow down.....they won't!! You will be hearing soon about other activities more related to Autumn and Winter birding. But for the next few days, most of the team will be taking part in our annual ringing amp in Vilamoura in the Algarve region of Portugal. It's a tough life ( Norway a couple of weeks ago--now Portugal)--but someone's got to do it......I'll try to get some blogs out to you showing some of the stunning species we will be ringing out there.......
