@macrodactyla.bsky.socialBlack-headed Gull (seen 8th Oct) with yellow ring TN46 was ringed as a male 2cy on 23/06/2019 in Włocławek, Poland. Rough estimate of the distance between there and Redcar. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEBirding #Birdringing

@smlbirder.bsky.socialWhilst headlands in the SW were awash with passage migrants yesterday, SML, in its SW facing bay, had its quietest day of the year – one of the penalties of the location and settled calm weather. Just 12 new birds were trapped, the highlight being 3 Firecrest. #birdringing #ukbirding #ornithology
@gary-woodburn.bsky.socialYellow-browed Warbler trapped and ringed at the Tin Church (Low Newton) this morning.
A few other birds were dropping in here, mainly Chaffinches and Siskins but also 2 Redwings. A fair number of Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Robins and Song Thrushes still around the scrub too.
@calfofmanbirdobs.bsky.socialFor the first time ever on the Calf...
Two Great Spotted Woodpecker were caught in a season! Amazingly, they were both caught on the same day! It provided a nice comparison between female and male as well.
This represents the 18th Calf record.
@gary-woodburn.bsky.socialNo sign of the Subalpine Warbler at Newton Pool this morning. 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Wheatears and a handful of Swallows and House Martins drifting south.
Here's a couple more pics from yesterday.
@slashercutts.bsky.socialAnother vagrant from the east. This juvenile Little Bunting was a welcome visitor this morning to the #culverwell nets. #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
@gary-woodburn.bsky.socialIt's great when birding throws nice surprises your way, today was certainly one of those days. Uninspiring westerlies and then... Subalpine Warbler ! No dropped feathers but a poo sample recovered from the bag so🤞.
Then in the evening... Cuckoo !
@calfofmanbirdobs.bsky.socialRecent highlights: Black Redstart & 525 Meadow Pipit on 24th.
1st for the year: Great Spotted Woodpecker, Coal Tit, Ring Ouzel, Greenfinch and Grey Plover (44th Calf record!).
Ringing stars: two more Sparrowhawks and the first Greenfinch, Dunnock & Great Tit of the autumn.
@trevorcodlin.bsky.socialThis Med Gull was ringed as an adult in Antwerp, Belgium on 21/06/2006 it was then seen on 29/06/2006 at Milford on Sea, Hants. On 06/11/2018 it was back at Milford & yesterday 27/09/2026 I saw it at Lee on Solent, Hants. An amazing 20yrs 3m 6 days (7403 days) since ringing. #ukbirding #birdringing
@lowcarbonkev.bsky.socialBeen in Facebook, 1st time in ages. Tries to tempt me back w/ a memory of old #birdringing Funnel Trap out on the #Medway estuary tidal island of Oakham marsh, within the old Kingsnorth PS.
Reverend, in his element, explaining why it wasn't a Heligoland Trap (an HT must have a dog-leg). Happy days.
@grahamd12.bsky.socialSalisbury Plain session this morning with 223 birds processed. Chiffchaff migration now in full effect with 116 caught inc 2 UK controls & 97 Blackcap inc an Arnheim Holland control. The only other warbler ringed was a tardy Grasshopper Warbler #birdringing #migration @wiltsbirdclub.bsky.social
@gary-woodburn.bsky.socialA couple of nice migrants on the patch this morning, a peachy Wheatear at Newton Point followed by a stonking Hawfinch near the Tin Church !
@calfofmanbirdobs.bsky.socialThis week we had our 1st autumn records of Skylark, Blue & Great Tit, and a Sparrowhawk ringed. Two Puffin were seen on 15th, with 77 House Martin on 13th, and 3 Canada Goose & 915 Razorbill on 17th.
