Days of Easterlies with low cloud and drizzle produced an amazing spring ringing session at the Jew’s Gate Observatory #Gibraltar. 127 new birds with day records of 28 Bonelli’s Warbler and 8 Woodchat Shrikes will be hard to beat. #birdringing #gonhs

Although they pass over in big numbers, Sedge Warblers are pretty rare on #Gibraltar. This is only the 10th ringing record here #birdringing #gonhs

Out on the rock with some first time visitors, getting excited about Serin, Crag Martins and Black Reds.
A Pied Fly was a late find.

I see these once every few years but never stop being amazed at their antics. The Wryneck, a relative of the woodpeckers and a ringer’s favourite. #birdringing #gonhs #gibraltar
