A Very Soggy Day!

Monday, November 14th 2011

After the beautiful day yesterday today's ringing took place in mist and light drizzle.  Tony explained to the bird ringers that these were the sorts of conditions that mist nets had been designed for; much of the day was perfect for ringing although very damp.  Over 160 birds were processed including 23 Blackbirds.  Some of these birds were light in weight and the speculation was that they were migrants just arrived from Europe that had used up some of their fat reserves for the journey.  Hopefully they will find plenty of food in Foxglove.

The mist continues to highlight spiders webs and this one, taken with flash, on the privet in the back garden shows a fantastic construction.

 Although the day was so grey there was still a flash of colour in the Gorse flowers, but even they had droplets of water on them!!
