Teams were out over the weekend catching lots of birds, carrying out training sessions and showing the people of Bilbrook some birds up close at a ringing demonstration.
Ben and Paul A were at Ben's Witches Oak site, and ringed just under 100 new birds--mainly migratory warblers such as...
Whitethroats......
and a couple of Cetti's warblers.

Blackcap
Reed Warbler
Sedge Warbler.
All together, the group managed to ring around 300 new birds over the weekend--lets see what next weekend brings.......
