After a very near miss yesterday, when a Ring Ouzel set off one of the spring traps and managed to get away, myself an Tony decided to have another go this morning. After slow start, we managed to catch a few Wheatears, and then eventually this cracking adult Ring Ouzel!!
With Ring Ouzels fast declining as a British breeding species, we are now colouring ringing any we catch in the hope to increase re-sightings of ringed birds, to try and understand more about their movement and why they are declining so much!!
A total of 16 Wheatears, and 1 Ring Ouzel were trapped and ringed.
