Rob Duncan and David Kightley report a busy day's ringing, with a total of 62 birds newly ringed, including a
Wood Warbler, a northern '
acredula'-type
Willow Warbler and three
Spotted Flycatchers. In addition, they controlled three
Sedge Warblers – two French-ringed birds and one British-ringed. Away from Millcombe and St John's Valley they encountered a male
Whinchat near the stonecrusher,
Whitethroats at Stoneycroft and the Rocket Pole area, plenty of
Swallow and
House Martin movement and two
Swifts.
