A Mute Swan-4GEE ringed at Hoveton on 2/2/2023 has wandered 127km to St Neots in Cambs where it was seen on 2/4 and 9/5/2025. They do not wander often too far, but occasionally can make a long trip. Showing the added value that colour ringing brings. @btobirds.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social
Monitoring at Deepdale Farm today resulted in 17 birds, five Chiffchaffs, one of which was from last year and a Long-tailed Tit from 2022. Re-traps from previous years are always valuable as it helps gain data on site fidelity and life span. @deepdalecamping.co.uk @norfolknats.bsky.social
Bullfinch - male
Chiffchaff - adult
Coal Tit - adult
Sculthorpe Moor yesterday our first field visit of the spring resulted in 20 birds. We were particularly pleased with 8 retraps, 4 being Chiffchaffs back for another summer, which is what it is all really about. 3 ringed in 24 and the other in 25. @hawkandowl.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social
Late season evening lamping session at Sculthrope Moor meadows yesterday produced a Jack Snipe, first ringed there on 10 December last year, nice that it has over wintered in the area. 3 Woodcock also present. @norfolknats.bsky.social @hawkandowl.bsky.social
Goshawk was apparently the reason for their nervous behaviour. First of the Goshawk barged into the Woodpigeon, dislodging a load of feathers but the bird kept flying, for the Goshawk on a second to catch it and fly off with it. 3/3
While there, we also heard two very close Water Rail, saw a female Marsh Harrier emerge from the reed bed while birds were also seen overhead and saw a Goshawk take a Woodpigeon. There had been a couple of occasions when pigeons were disturbed from the trees and a hunting. 2/3
It's that time of year when the summer migrant arrivals are still a way off, and yet the birds that came to see out the winter have disappeared. We put a couple of nets up for any roosting Reed Bunting that might be around and captured 5 new birds, all hatched last year. 1/3
A couple of Adders warming up, only slightly on a on and off overcast morning - Kelling Heath
Eastern Black Redstart Sheringham sea front this pm on a blustery chilly day often feeding in the rear wall and guttering behind the western side chalets late pm avoiding the worst of the breeze - with one brave soul bathing in the slightly rough sea #NorfolkBirding
Big big difference between the cycle set up and low profile of the Netherlands than the UK - for start their roads were built with cycling as a national habit - plus they know how to behave - we don't - there are too many idiots in cars and on bikes that make it less than pleasant experience
Evening survey of a North Norfolk farm on 12th resulted in 15 Woodcock in stubble, 2 of which were ringed along with 2 Sky Lark
@norfolknats.bsky.social

Monitoring today at the Stanhoe orchard. We didn't expect much and we were was not wrong, just 10 birds, 7 Greenfinch was good, as was the single Fieldfare considering the almost complete lack of Thrushes. @btobirds.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @wildernorfolk.bsky.social
Langham farm monitoring yesterday, our results were low with 17 birds, only 8 Reed Bunting and no Yellowhammers, all present in higher numbers around the winter bird crop. Another Reed Bunting was previously ringed at Morston. @btobirds.bsky.social @morstonpond.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social
Our first this winter - only recently turned up in the meadow, which until recent period of frequent rain was too dry - Sculthrope Moor today - using a thermal to locate. @btobirds.bsky.social @hawkandowl.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social
