The most enigmatic of birds and another first for #culverwell, an amazing Wryneck #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
Unfortunately a bird that’s on the increase, at least locally. We ring around 5 a year but my first trapped in #culverwell #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
Only my second Nightingale in #Culverwell, the first was in May 2021 #birdringing
Bang on for this time of year, a juvenile Barred Warbler, trapped and ringed in #Culverwell this morning. #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
The autumn truly starts at #Culverwell when I catch my first Grey Wagtail. Others today, Redstart 2, Spot Fly 2, Tree Pip 1, Stonechat 1, Kestrel 1. #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
A great morning’s ringing at #culverwell, very busy with 62 new birds and four, yes, four controls. Two Whitethroats, a Garden Warbler and a Pied Flycatcher.
More details to follow. #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
