Over the past few days, there's been a big increase in the numbers of finches visiting the garden feeders. So I decided it was about time I put the traps out to catch some of them. So far (just in the last 4 mornings) I've managed to trap and ring 28 Goldfinches, 7 Lesser Redpolls and 2 Siskins. Hopefully over the next few weeks the numbers will increase. A Belgian ringed Siskin found in a garden only a couple of miles away the other day, so who know's what might turn up??
