Norwegian Redwing - December 2018

Ringing sessions were hampered by unsettled weather but most sites managed at least one outing although catches were often low.

The total of over 193 new birds of 20 species brought some surprises with Redwing ringed at most sites and their total of 33 put them in second place after Blue Tit on 39.

Other good December species were a Meadow Pipit at Woolley Firs, a Blackcap at Iver Heath and 3 Chiffchaff, at Bedfont and Wraysbury. Finches and buntings were hard to come by with only 7 ringed in the period.

There were controls of Cetti’s Warbler at Stanwellmoor and a Norwegian Redwing which are awaiting ringing details.
