A flash of colour

Apologies for the delay in posting Saturday's results but I've been in northern Scotland on a ringing expedition --see later.
On Saturday the team decided to continue with the programmed session even though weather conditions were not ideal with a bit of wind moving the nets, and a lot of sun making the moving nets very visible.
However, 41 new birds was a good total in the event--although the members were a tad disappointed. The catch was in line with what we would expect in terms of species although a superb Kingfisher lifted spirits as they always do! This individual was typically feisty and did its best to inflict damage on the ringer holding the bird.
