As one season ends another begins

As winter gives way to spring, some activities are ending. During last week we had a couple of imager sessions and while one was quite successful ringing 8 Skylarks, the other was less so with only one Fieldfare. There are still quite a few birds about but migratory restlessness means they are very jumpy--and we are noticing resident birds in pairs which we are avoiding. We have one last session planned for next week and that will be it until autumn.

Our Twitter followers will have seen a note about our item on the Radio 4 Farmers World programmes this week. This was linking our ringing to the numbers of birds being attracted to the farm which is being managed to attract wildlife by using a no plough policy. Check out the podcast on the Sounds App for the programme aired on 14th March.

Feeding stations will be active for quite a while yet--and we used the action at one yesterday to give our trainees experience as well as providing the volunteers who look after the feeder and the site, the experience of seeing and releasing some common birds. The looks on their faces make it all worthwhile:-
 
Having taught for many years I can say for certain that I knew more about my subject after having taught it than I did on leaving university. I'm delighted to see so many of our team of trainees interacting with the public and sharing their knowledge--while learning themselves!
 
We have a continuing training programme over the coming weeks--more about them as they unfold.
