Another 2,000

Well, near enough as damned anyway: 1,971 birds ringed at the lighthouse this morning; 1,700 or so of them were Blue Tits. We recaught Friday's Marsh Tit again (it was also retrapped yesterday morning) as well as good numbers of Crested Coal Tits.

I still haven't managed to get a decent photo of the Marsh Tit. At least you can see the greater covert moult limit in this photo...

 This 3+cy male Sparrowhawk caught in the first net round was a real stunner.
