The Pembs Ringing Group did its first Constant Effort visit to Kilpaison on saturday and retrapped an exceptional number of returning migrants. Over 80 birds were caught in total including a female Cetti's Warbler sporting a wopping brood patch.
Migrants included :-
Willow Warblers - 3 new and 4 returing birds
Chiichaffs - 7 new and 3 returning
Sedge Warblers - 8 new and 5 returning
Blackcaps - 2 new and 3 returning
Lesser Whitethroats - 1 new and 1 returning (several singing)
no Reed Warblers on the site yet, one Gropper, several Goldfinches
At Mullock - at least two Lesser Whitethroats suddenly started singing on Sunday. Raven chicks ready to fledge.
At Martins Haven - very quiet in the valley but loads of Linnets around and a regular Kestrel sighting. Ravens on the Deer Park ready to fledge.
A bit of ringing news
