Ringer's Diary: Twite and Cormorant to Ireland
http://training-to-ring-birds.blogspot.com/2014/01/twite-and-cormorant-to-ireland.html
Ringer's Diary Wild Bird ringing in the Isle of Man and other places. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Twite and Cormorant to Ireland. Kev sent me a nice email from a Mr Joseph Delvin saying he had seen a Twite at Giles Quay, Co. Louth, Ireland on 17/01/2014 wearing our Colour rings. This bird was ringed last winter between September 2012 and April 2013. And is our first record of a Twite to Ireland. Joseph tells me they do have breeding Twite there, so some of our winter flock may come from there as well.

Not as many as 2012 but i think that was down to trying some new stuff and concentrating on some target species where more time was put in for less numbers. A concerted e...

Ringer's Diary: April 2013
http://training-to-ring-birds.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Ringer's Diary Wild Bird ringing in the Isle of Man and other places. Sunday, April 21, 2013. The last few days have been spent placing spring traps out for Wheatears, 31 have now been ringed in April. Looking at the past two years i seem to catch more in May but because of the late migration this year, due to the weather i am wondering if this is the big push for the birds. Lots about yesterday with 12 ringed and at least 50 seen. Looking on the Colour ring site. Monday, April 15, 2013. Thanks very much...
